We had a couple lilac bushes that were way over grown from years of neglect,
we cut them down to about 3 feet tall in the fall, and last summer they were
about 4 feet tall and covered with blossoms. I think in our case it really
rejuvenated them. I can't wait to see what they look like this summer.

Does anyone know about pruning lilacs? I have one that has just begun
blooming and it appears to be only on new wood. I have fewer blooms
this year than last, and I was wondering whether I need to cut it back
after it blooms.

Thanks!
