Forsythia: Boring or Beautiful?
|
by
Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
The proper time to prune forsythia is immediately after flowering, removing the oldest, thickest branches, which allows light into the center of the shrub and makes room for new shoots.

Fox-fire Makes Forests Glow
|
by
Kim Coder
In the past, people thought fox-fire was a cold fire which burned old stumps in moist areas of oak and hardwood forests. This light has been attributed to fairies, ghosts and assorted other supernatural beings. The much less romantic and less sinister cause for these night lights is special fungi-rotting wood.
