Several Months ago my aunt wanted more forsythia bushes. I cut three 14" or so new wood stems and chopped them into pieces. Each piece had two leaves left, though half the leaf was clipped off to conserve moisture. Each was dipped in rooting hormone, and put in it's own pot. I put them all in a tray and kept them in the shade for about a month and they rooted. I potted 12, and 12 grew roots, forsythia is known for being ridiculously easy to root. So far none of them have grown any new leaves, but they did develop new buds along the current leaf bases. I expect next year they will have several new shoots.
