We have a Forsythia growing in an area of the garden which will shortly be built on. Looking at the plant there appears to be what looks like a sucker. Is it possible to take this sucker and store it in a large pot for a couple of years?

They are quite easy to root and I'd dig up what you can and pot up or transplant in the garden

Also I'd bring in a couple of branches with flower buds on now - they will open in the warmth of the house. Then when the flowers are over just stick the branches in the ground as if they were pea sticks - they often do root quite easily like this. If your sucker survives you can always give them away.
I kept a cutting done that way in a pot for about three years and it was fine.

well it is worth a try. I assume when you say store you mean potted up and kept alive :o) It is certainly possible that it will grow happily.
