Someone really came spring, but elsewhere there was snow and the temperature was minus. But no problem, the sun will soon overheat and the bud will start waking up in the trees, and the first spring flowers will appear.
In this post I want to introduce you to the bush that blooms very early. Sometimes the snow stretches, and the kidneys show yellow tongue and the first flower begins to bloom.
Forsythia is a fast-growing shrub. Young shoots can grow more than one season over 2 meters. If you remove the shoots or begin to trim the excess branches, force begins to give more growth and you can get big bushes.
This is certainly beautiful, but only if you plant this shrub somewhere on the edge of the garden or garden.
The flowers bloom gradually and the whole branch is covered with a bright lemon color.
The smell of flowers is not, nor does it bear fruit. This blossom is not pollinated, all insects are still asleep.
Not every year, forsythia fun with dense flowering. Sometimes plants can not bloom for several years altogether and produce only a single flower.
He is fluid, and if he does not love his land, then the bloom also does not grow with full force will not exist. So, pay attention to this beauty and at the first signs do not bloom, bush graft to another place.
Also, do not loosen the soil under the bushes. Breaking down the roots that lie near the surface of the earth, you injure them and this stimulates the awakening of the kidneys, which then soon grows buds, which spends the bushes and does not let buds bloom be laid.And of course, this beauty multiplies very simply. Namely - buds, division of bushes and cuttings.
Flowering in Forsythia lasts about 10 days, then the green leaves appear and you can forget the ornamental shrubs.
If the shrubs are young, then you can start forming the crown, cut all the long branches, and at the end of June cut the cuttings and put them into the greenhouse.!
Not many beautiful plants in the garden.
Experiment, buy new varieties and plant species, admire her beauty.
I wish everyone luck.
