Pruning Lilac Trees
I have a lilac tree in our small front garden which has grown far too high
for the space. How can I prune it so that it flowers at a height of about 5 foot? TIA. |

How can I prune it so that it flowers at a height of about 5 best time to prune is just after the bush/tree has flowered. it might be wise to get it to the shape you want over a couple of seasons rather than all at once ... although you don't say how high it is at present. you could prune it now, or into the autumn - but you will be cutting off next year's flowers in the process. |

Thank you. I think I'll sacrifice the flowers next year and cut it back in the Autumn. |
