standard lilac reverting to rootstock?
Wife has bought two standard lilacs from QVC. After a month, one has a
different type of leaf growing from above the graft, looks very much like
privet. Is it possible that rootstock is privet? I have cut off the
offending shoot and rubbed out some small buds way down the stem. Is this
going to be a regular problem?
One of the plants also has tiny pink, flower like growths at the tips of the
branches. Could these be a late attempt to flower?
