Drastic Pruning in Late Summer
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 2:24 pm
Dear Friends,
This is my first time on this site. We have two large lilac bushes that have been overgrown for many years. I want to take them all to 3 feet off the ground and begin again.
Can I do this without hurting the plants? And can I do this now, in late summer, or should I wait until they finish blooming next May?
