There’s no better way to welcome the coming of spring than with the profusion of yellow blooms covering graceful, arching branches. The forsythia is a fast-growing, hardy shrub that blooms early — providing a sunny sight before the rest of the landscape greens up. Forsythias make an excellent choice for those wanting a fast-growing flowering hedge.

• Displays early-blooming yellow flowers
• Is a fast-growing shrub
• Works great as a flowering hedge – we recommend planting shrubs 3'– 6' apart

History/Lore

The forsythia is named after English horticulturist William Forsythe. It is also called the border forsythia or golden bell. Forsythia x intermedia is a hybrid between F. suspensa and F. viridissima. Many cultivars have been selected from this cross, including dwarf and compact forms.

Bare-Root Tree

Bare-root trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant (sleep state). In this dormant state, deciduous trees may display small buds but not leaves. Roots will come coated in a hydrating gel. Bare-root trees require more attention and care initially to ensure they remain properly watered and protected from extreme weather conditions.

Benefits:

• Cost-effective
• Roots re-establish quickly once planted, meaning growth will begin faster
• Easy to plant at the correct depth

Potted Tree

Potted trees are available in a variety of sizes. Because the roots are packed in soil, the trees do not need to be dormant for shipping. Potted trees often have a more established appearance with leaves and foliage, providing an immediate visual impact on the landscape.

Benefits:

• Reduced transplant shock
• Extended shipping/planting season
• Higher survivability

Which Tree is Right for Me?

With the option of ordering either standard or semi-dwarf trees and either bare-root or potted, be sure to consider the benefits of each option when deciding which is best for you.

Standard Height

Benefits:

• Also functions as a shade tree
• Can be planted farther from compatible pollinator
• Fills a larger space

Semi-Dwarf Height

Benefits:

• Easier to harvest fruit
• Bears fruit sooner
• Fits in a smaller space
