Here's the before photo of the forsythia at our well.
Since the leaves were starting to show it was time to take everyone's advice and give a haircut.

I don't think it had ever had a pruning.
When Dan got home from an errand he finished the job for me.
I have labeled this post so next year when it tries to bloom again I can do a comparison.
