If you want to prune, he said, do it right after the blooms are gone, so you know which branches to clip. Sounds like a lot of work to me, but he said if you chop down the whole thing, you won't get blooms again for two years! I am not a gardener -- telling you what I was told. I did plant one this year -- again -- so I will see how this works out.Scribblerhttp://scribblerunfocused.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-12441975828526238142011-04-14T10:20:30.045-04:002011-04-14T10:20:30.045-04:00Let's hope there is such a thing as two year c...Let's hope there is such a thing as two year cycle forsythias.
