Creosote in soil kills lilac tree
My next door neighbour painted our adjoining fence last year with
creosote and my well established lilac tree at 4 ft has died. My neighbour is pleased because she did not want the tree there at her fence but I do not know whether I can replant, or is the soil no longer good for anything? Could I have a lilac in a pot so thet she can do no more harm? |

Could the soil have been drenched with something? Judith |

I've grown lots of lilacs but never in pots. But you could grow the dwarf one Syringa meyeri 'Palibin' in a pot (it is highly scented too which is nice). It will be high maintenance though, especially at flowering time when it will require lots of watering and feeding too. Couldn't you move plant a new lilac on the other side of the garden? |
