We live in South East New Brunswick and about 25 years ago my wife planted wild Lilacs to create a hedge , although I trim it every year it seems to be growing very fast and now is approx. 7.5 ft high and I would like to cut it down to about 4 feet , I already trimmed it this year early (1.5 ft ) and it has already grown what was trimmed can I trim it again and also can I narrow it as it keep getting wider . awaiting your response ................ thank you
Lilac will sprout well however hard you cut it back. But you won't get any flowers for 5-7 years or so after pruning, as the flowers are produced on mature shoots.
What varieties are short, and how short are they? I've never seen a short one out here, but I'm sure they make a dwarf variety of most popular plants. Thanks for the response.
