Hi there, just transplanted my Forsythia and I am wondering if there is a way to reduce the leafs size that are really big.
Thank you
Thank you

Increasing ramification of branches usually results in smaller leaf size. Unfortunately Forsythia doesn't ramify easily so reduced leaf size may take a while or may never happen.
On the positive side, Forsythia's best attribute are the flowers which emerge in late winter, well before the leaves so no-one, except both of us, will know it has big leaves through summer.

I'm not sure about the specie, just had to comment on the impressive display. Well done.

Yes the flower are amazing. Any tips to increase ramification, I want leave just one long sacrifice branch to make the trunk bigger, for the other ? Cut back after 6 8 couple of leafs ?
Thank you, is a stone with over a circle of KETO-AKADAMA-SPHAGNUM ( 40-30-30) and inside just akadama and pumice.

I had one, but it was mostly destroyed by voles.

Nothing that I've tried seems to help. I've just accepted that they won't have lots of small branches.
Good luck with finding a solution. Let me know if you do.

... I found mine developed quite well for me. Progression in reverse. I got it in 2019. I felt it developed rather in a timely manner. That makes me wonder if they are similar to Ginkgo where PH plays a roll in their producing branching. A Ginkgo needs PH levels to be 6.5-7... my own water is a 7. Hearing they don't ramify from one I feel a solid source. Truly makes me compare the Ginkgo as they sometimes are hard to build ramification as well. Just my gerbil spinning on its wheel.
