1、 How to trim

The germination ability of Forsythia suspensa is relatively strong, and pruning should be often carried out during potting. In peacetime, the diseased branches, weak branches and long branches should be cut off in time to save nutrients, increase the internal light transmission capacity and promote better and faster growth. When new branches sprout every spring, if too dense branches are found, they should also be cut off from the base

If you want to make a shape after maintenance for about three years, you must trim it regularly to make it look like you want. Its branches germinate quickly and its shape is easy to form

2、 Why not

1. The result rate of self pollination is low: the failure of Forsythia suspensa planted in pot is likely to be caused by self pollination, and the result rate is only about 4%. The result rate of cross pollination is higher only, but it is difficult to carry out cross pollination at home. If you want a higher fruiting rate, you need to promote cross pollination. Long style plants and short style plants should be cultivated separately to promote cross pollination

2. Improper pruning: it has strong germination ability. If it is not pruned in time, there will be many bare branches and absorb a large amount of nutrients, which will lead to nutrient dispersion and reduce the fruit rate. Reasonable pruning shall be carried out to cut off weak branches and long branches, leaving only strong branches
