Forsythia

Today Sage and I hacked back at our forsythia bush, which I had pruned last fall.  It's a pitiful sight, and I'm eager to get rid of the whole thing.  It was nice to clear up some space, for now there is room (and more light) for more plantings.  I'm thinking of replacing the whole thing with some type of shrub or dwarf tree, but don't know what yet.
