Lilac won't flower
 

We have a lilac now wbout 5 foot tall that seems to grow fine but won't
flower. It was rooted from pulled off shoot. We're on Wiltshire green sand
and it gets a good deal of sun. Any ideas before I get rid of it?

Thanks

Peter

PS I have never been able to get lilac to flower - even in London - maybe
its me :(

How old is it now?
Are you pruning it?
It flowers on old wood, not new shoots, so pruning regularly could stop
it flowering.

Nope, not pruning it. It would be about 6 yrs old I guess.
