Can you trim forsythia in the fall

Forsythias can be remarkably easy and trouble-free plants to grow, and their yellow flowers in spring are not only attractive to us but also to pollinators early in the year when there may not be much else in bloom.

The forsythia in my garden attracts pollinators, ensuring that there are plenty around when, soon after the forsythia has flowered, the fruit tree blossom emerges.
