I agree with no clipping of forsythia– or really any other shrub. I recently chased after the County trimmers who thought they did me a favor by giving my native hardhack a flat top.

Thanks, Leah, for adding to the conversation. I grew up surrounded by the clipped ones so while I don’t grow them here, they still make me smile from the childhood memory. I like the old, overgrown ones best I think.

For Kim’s post from Feb. 26, 2010, regarding your laments……..seems like you should have taken the opportunity to plant some privacy screening of your own opposite where your neighbor dug up the ‘beautiful lilac shrub’……..then, perhaps they would have emulated that. Thus, you would have had double the privacy screening as before.
