Default standard lilac reverting to rootstock?


"michael cane" wrote in message
...
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?


Surely the growth is of the scion and not the stock if it is above the
graft.
