For 2 years in a row I've tried to force my double flowering cherry without any luck. Just yesterday I threw the branches out since all the buds were drying up and falling off even though I'd cut the bottoms off a couple times. Maybe I'll get it right next year.<br /><br />Nice to see you make a return : )A New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-12514014680083176392012-03-10T20:18:22.011-05:002012-03-10T20:18:22.011-05:00My favorite is apricot....so fragrantMy favorite is apricot....so fragrantPura Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423379787232688763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-78463385051374786162012-03-10T18:57:50.966-05:002012-03-10T18:57:50.966-05:00Love to force forsythia.

He cut them so far back that I literally almost cried. He could tell that I was upset, but assured me it was for the best. Well, not for this year's blooming! I hope that they do better each coming year because I always looked forward to my huge, free-form forsythias.<br />Maybe I will try to force a dogwood branch or two. <br />Thanks for the reminder.<br />BeckieSewconsulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427879934589715958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927889236153598968.post-19936197136577183902012-03-10T18:20:41.887-05:002012-03-10T18:20:41.887-05:00Thanks for the reminder Yvonne, I'll be back i...Thanks for the reminder Yvonne, I'll be back in Michigan on Monday and will head out to the bushes and cut some for the house.
