How and when do we decide it is time to remove a plant or to make big changes in the layout of our gardens?
I
have had a forsythia bush in my garden. Nothing says spring so much to me as forsythia blooming. My particular cultivar was given to me by my mother in 2002, before I became so much more knowledgeable of forsythia in general. Whichever cultivar it was, unknown, as my mother is not particularly adept at those types of distinction. It did not bloom until its third year. It has not bloomed in the last three. There was a year here and there it did not bloom for one reason or another, bringing the total percentage of times it has bloomed to about fifty percent.
The rest of the time it is just a LARGE green bush. In a small garden.
