The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 01, 2014For every branch that touches the ground this plant will root and start again. Moving it now or in the fall to a better and bigger location will be your best option-as Douglas states, it will need lost of room. And yes you need to keep this pruned after flowering to control its growth and shape. happy gardeningHelpful Reply

Lori Jackson on Aug 01, 2014I really love my forsythia, but I am a brutal pruner. Those early blooms make my heart smile. My dad always had one in his yard and called them the harbinger of spring.Helpful Reply
