Help identifying this bush?

Trying to find the name of this Bush and it can be pruned? Thank you

looks like forsythia- small yellow flowers cover entire stems in spring. If that is what it is, then yes, it can be pruned.

Most Forsythia have hollow stems, but just between the internodes. Not many others do.

Hello @bpowell - welcome to the forums, it's good to have you on board.

I was thinking a nandena, but not shore.

Has your shrub flowered yet @bpowell ? Could you cut a stem and see if they actually are hollow? I think Nandina shows a lot of colour in the leaves. Do you know if your soil is acid or alkaline?

Not sure haven't tested it in few years, stems are kinda square on outside and round inside with white fiber. And has little flowers starting to bud

Have a look at this. Although the opposite leaves remind of Forsythia, I have a feeling that this might be a Euonymus Alatus. I believe they are quite common in your part of the world. What do you think?
Stems of this shrub are square with ''wings''
