- There are few more iconic spring flowering shrubs than the Golden Forsythia. You can drive down nearly any street in the majority or the United States in early spring and see millions of tiny yellow blossoms along sidewalks and popping out of hedgerows. Although the Forsythia bloom only lasts about 2 weeks, the foliage stays strong throughout summer and fall.
In this video, we show you how to properly and quickly root Forsythia cuttings using a very simple method.

Really the best narrative description and closeup video! Subscribing :)
@@curiouscat3384 I appreciate that!
Thank you for an awesome demonstration for rooting forsythia.
Loved your video and just subscribed. I have always regretted not studying horticulture; plants just always make me happy. Watching things grow is irresistible and never gets old.
Thank you for this. Forsythia is my favorite 😍 thanks. I learned a lot. 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us , now I can go and work on the cuttings from my sister bush . Blessings.🙏🏻
Thank you and God Bless YOU!
This was the first video of yours I have viewed and I enjoyed it and learned a lot! Hello from NYC.
Thank you for this video. I moved to a new climate and have a forsythia that has 2 very long branches. I wanted to trim them only then found your video. Now I can root the trimmings and get more plants. I am super excited to get this started. Need to get root boost tomorrow. Thank you again!
Thanks for the info! I’m going to try it out.
About another week and it’ll be the perfect time!
I’m so happy to learn this.
I have Is he one it is so big in front of my deck but I’d like to put them all around my deck they’re so beautiful when they come out they don’t last long with their beautiful when they’re here🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can I just stick them in the ground?
I just found this, so timely. I just stuck lavendar and rosemary cuttings(done before) and blueberry ( 1st time). Arbor Day Foundation #$&%@ forsythia 3 years, 2 ft. I'm taking cuttings today and will follow your directions.
P.S. its helpful to know your location and/or zone. I'm 7a in northern Delaware.
THANKS!!!
I’m 5b so you’ll be fine to do it now!
Hi! Do you leave this outside during the winter? Or maybe the garage is an option?
When you day to leave in the cuttings in the planter in the shade "for awhile" is awhile a day or two, week or two?
Otherwise love this detailed instruction!
Usually a month will do it but it all depends on how hot and direct the sun is. The thing you want to avoid is burnt leaves. When that happens, you risk losing the cutting. Another tip is to water less in the shade because the coolness will retain water and cause rot if overwatered.
Forsythia is zoned through zone 8 but I’m in zone 9B. Do you have any advice on how I can grow one? I tried before and it disappeared (perhaps gophers?).
While they prefer full sun, this one is growing in mostly shade. I'd try that out. If it's not the gophers, it's probably the harsh sun. Also, they prefer damp soil, so that might be the issue as well.
Can the propagation happen from woody branches?
Yes I’ve actually gotten good results from the woody parts but you have to do it earlier in the year because they take longer to develop roots.
when do you plant it after its rooted?
The following spring is always best to ensure they have the best chance of survival.
Can I ask the name of the product you get from Walmart? The planting soil? 🙏🏻
I just call it “the purple bag” haha I don’t even think it has a brand. Anything with peat in it will work great.
If you propogate in the spring after flowering when will that cutting flower.
I’ve found they typically bloom the second year after cutting.
How deep is the root system
On the parent plant or on the propagations?
@@BarefootBonsai on the parent. Pls
@@peterghai2466 I’d say at least a few feet. That bush is somewhere around 15 years old. Forsythia have a wider, shallow root system and send up suckers from the horizontal roots. That’s what makes them so easy to propagate.
Is September too late?
Early September is about the line. If you have a greenhouse or another covered area. You could probably push a few roots out. It also depends on when snow falls by you. Cold is the enemy of baby roots.
Can you do this in the spring when it is flowering?
Forsythia is not a native of America and it should not be propagated or encouraged to be propagated by responsible gardeners anywhere outside of Europe or Asia, where it is native.
There are many shrubs that help our native bees you could focus those great propagation techniques on.
The bees love this thing, Captain Conservation. There are billions on forsythia in America. Can’t stop us all.
I have a Forsythia that was planted by the previous owner.
I've looked at it repeatedly early spring when it is flowering and have not noticed a single bee, wasp, butterfly or other on it.
Nor have I seen any on other forsythias.
They need to be gone.
@@BarefootBonsai
They may not be native, but neither are honeybees. This is one of the earliest flowering plants, and many of our native wasps, flies, beetles, etc. LOVE this plants flower and pollen.
In NC there was a tiny little house, with a HUMONGOUS forsythia hedge(fortress?) That shone like the sun, and was home to so many birds, and on the spring it would be covered in insects and even early hummingbirds some years.
Focus on things like the Bradford pear... Which suckkkk and escape into the landcape and out compete natives. You won't catch a forsythia overtaking an entire mountainside.
@@RealBradMiller I've a big Forsythia planted by the previous owner and every year when it's flowering I take a good look at it.
There's never anything on it.
No bees, butterflies,nothing.
Maybe bees are staying away because you are so grumpy
