‘Northern Gold’ Forsythia

bare-root plants

Forsythia

6-8' × 5-7' Bred by Felicitas Svejda, Ottawa, Canada, 1979.One of the earliest forsythia cultivars to flower in spring. Upright form with yellow-grey branches clad in healthy rich green foliage. Northern Gold has not only the bud hardiness necessary for flower production above the snow line, but also outstanding golden-yellow flowers. You can have a full bloom every year!

Prefers full sun and moderately fertile, slightly acid to neutral soils with good drainage. We cut our first bouquet of the year when we harvest the dormant branches for forcing inside mid-February. Bred from F. ovata, a hardy dependably blooming species native to Asia and Europe. Z3. (1-3' bare-root plants)

As Green’s Nursery catalog from 1904 explains, “There are many trees that by pruning can be made to resemble shrubs, and many shrubs that by different pruning may be made to produce medium-sized trees.”
