Trimming Lilacs

Bev Pearson asks:

Question

How much can you prune without killing bush?


Answer

The general rule for pruning hardwoods is no more than 25% of green in a growing season. How the plant in your case a lilac recovers will also depend on the overall health of the shrub and the quality of cuts made.
