i took 30 forsythia cuttings this year hoping just a few would root and to my surprise they all have

all i did was take some young green shoots and stick 3 in a 4" square pot with john innes no1 and left them in a shaded spot and kept them moist
that was about 6-8 weeks ago now, took a look the other day and i have roots coming out of the bottom of the posts
probably doesn't make the best hedge in the world but its fast growing and I have enough plants to make a good screen down the side of my garden which will give us a bit more privacy from the neighbour and a lot cheaper than a 6" fence
