So I received this motha-lickah via mail for a relatively dang good value. (The nursery actually provided me with a picture of a few trees in a line for “pickin”.. not IDEAL.. but a heap more helpful then completely sight unseen) A Forsythia, Show-Off (tm), Sugar Baby (tm)... I was fascinated by it’s truly “dwarf” nature, and concentration of flowers...
Upon receiving and digging down slightly, I noticed that, not only that there were DEFINITELY two specimens.. kind of what I thought from the picture and actually WANTED, but ALSO.. that a few buds had half-burst due to the “warm time” in the box...
So I buried the topsoil layer back up, confident in my findings.. pruned back relatively hard.. going behind the half-burst buds, sealed up the cuts, and stuck them into my cold-frame..
Repot in Spring.
..then exploriiing... gently.... carefully.
Aaaand the operation itself.
