My yellow bells need to be trimmed quarterly otherwise they droop really bad from the weight. They are about 10 feet tall and 5 feet around. I live in Phoenix so our seasons are almost continuous.
We have moved but I did this every year in early summer after they bloomed. You can trim them drastically all the way until August and still have good sized bushes in early spring.
You had me at Chuck Norris. I had a Yellowbells that I ended up cutting to the ground and digging up. It wasn't the normal Forsythia I had growing in my Memphis garden that was relatively well-behaved. This one rooted everywhere one of the tips of the branches touched the ground and was walking across the yard like a large version of the Egyptian Walking Onion.
Not sure why anyone would want yellowbell in their yard. Way too much maintenance and worry for my taste. Thx for the education tho...know to avoid buying this! LOL

They are prolific...like I said. Some worse than others!
that Chunk Norris joke got me. I fell for it.
Mine are tall and dried up. What should I do?
Cut them back like I did, they will grow back quickly
Wow! I didn’t need realize they grow that fast
They certainly do. You can cut them all the way to the ground after they bloom if you want.
you got me with the chuck bit, started panicking lol
He's okay Austin, he's not even hurt
We had Kudzu vine growing in our yard...and if you stood still long enough it would start climbing up your leg. 😂
You had me googling Chuck Norris!! Lol
Michael Gilchrist there are tons of chuck Norris jokes on the internet
I say prune them things just below grade that way the bed won’t have any, lumps in it when you plant something new lol
Mines look like sticks. It’s terrible, but I think I over water it.
Chuck Norris? BANG ZOOM Nichols! To the Moon... my heart be still. Lol
Wow you must really like Chuck Norris, He has a grizzly bear rug. The bear is not dead its just too afraid to move.
Sorry I'm not subscribing to kids channels, I don't think it is a good idea.
Don’t believe those would even grow in Wisconsin....I miss my South!
Dry them, package them, and donate them. That’s what I would do with that golden plant.
