Description:
Forsythia are deciduous shrubs growing to 1–3 m (rarely 6 m) tall, with rough grey-brown bark. The leaves are opposite, usually simple but sometimes tri-foliate with a basal pair of small leaflets, and range from 2–10 cm (rarely to 15 cm) long; the margin is serrated or entire. The flowers are produced in the early spring before the leaves, bright yellow with a deeply four-lobed corolla, the petals joined only at the base. The fruit is a dry capsule, containing several winged seeds.[1][4] |
