The forsythia (Forsythia) belongs to the family Oleaceae and is native to southeastern Europe. It is cultivated with about thirteen species and reaches heights of growth between one and three meters.
For decades, the forsythia is one of the most popular flowering shrubs. It is also known under the name gold bells or gold lilac, since it from April to May opens her numerous, up to four inches wide, golden yellow, bell-shaped, four-fold flowers and the spring welcomed happily. The flowers appear before the leaves appear on the axils of the branches of last year.
Forsythia are ideal for rear planting, especially for flowering hedges. The branches also provide a common use in spring bouquets, nematodes but also to Barbara's on the 4th December branches are cut like that are available for Christmas season in full bloom. Location and planting
At the location of the Garden forsythia is largely undemanding. It thrives on nutritious and on poor soils alike. Even the lighting conditions affect nematodes their growth only slightly. So they tolerate shady locations as well as sunny.
For a hedge planting two plants are required nematodes per running meter. For a free-growing flowering hedge, however, a meter should nematodes be scheduled. The planting can take place both in the fall and in the spring.
Forsythia are fast growing nematodes and extremely cut-tolerated. However, it should be cut immediately after flowering so that they can create new buds for next year then.
Old, bulky shrubs verkahlen increasingly inside and form only outside flowers. In addition, the branches will often depend on strong and seem somewhat unaesthetic. Here, a radical cut to be made in old wood. However, the forsythia is then bloom again until the year after next.
Propagation is very easy. For this purpose, a woody piece having a length of about twenty centimeters after flowering is cut, free from leaves and lowered into the ground. In autumn, the young rooted shrub can already be implemented. Diseases and Pests
