Lilac bush wilting from hot weather and drought
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:37 pm
I live in Indianapolis, where the drought is really bad, we are currently -10 inches of rain fall for the year. Last time we had GOOD rain was in May. and only a few small rainfalls in the last 2 months. Everyone's lawns are dead, there are mandatory watering restrictions all over almost the entire state so everything is suffering. I water young trees in the front yard about once a week. I've been watering the lilac bush, but it's just looking more wilted as days go on.
What can I do?
Would trimming it help out? or stress it out further? I'd like to try and keep it alive, but it's really sad to see all around there are so many dead or dying trees and bushes.
