Thanks. Of course, David would tell you that gardens are beautiful on ANY day! Especially the ones that have plants that shine throughout all our seasons. That's why we encourage everyone to NOT just visit our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ on nice days in spring and early summer. But to stop in in mid-summer, late summer, autumn, winter and early spring too! Because that's when you are likely to discover all sorts of interesting and beautiful ones that reflect the wonders of all our seasons. Have you subscribed to our channel? If you haven't, you might like to think about it, because once you are subscribed, each time we post a new video (which we are doing all the time), you will find that they will turn up automatically in your feed. And, as you find our videos helpful, it would be great if you could kindly share the links with your friends and click the "like" button too, because that will help other people find out about the information as well. And, now that we are in the midst of the main planting season (spring through late Fall) try to visit our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/. They are located all over our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region, and that's where you will find all sorts of beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections, so be sure to stop in regularly throughout the seasons because there will be a steady stream of fresh shipments coming in weekly.

Pruning right after flowering. Got it!🌸

I'm so glad that I accidentally came across your CHANNEL on KZread! .. I have had a WHITE Lilac for years now and I only ever get very Small flowers and only in Early Spring here in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. Now I'm so happy because i now know what the problem might be. Thank you for Sharing your Knowledge... very much enjoyed the Video and very much Appreciated.

When we loved in Nebraska my mom had the whole back yard line with lilacs it was so amazing to go it back to smell the fragrance

I could honestly listen to David for hours. One of my favorite horticulture KZread experts. Love the content. Love your simple but informative explanation on virtually everything. Keep up the great work

I love your videos. So do my lilacs.🥰

I enjoy the host’s comments, he seems to know this topic well. It’s a shame the camera person didn’t focus in as the pruning was happening. The viewer is left to speculate what the host is talking about. Sigh…

Thanks for your input and helpful suggestion. It's a little tricky to get in close with all the congested growth of bushes like these Lilacs. But now that you've mentioned it, we will try to focus in closer. We don't know if you've watched the whole video right through to the end, but at the 11.13 minute and 12.07 marks, the camera does show in closer detail how David was making his pruning cuts. And if you need a bit more clarification, you might like to catch another of David 's videos where he was pruning a Panicle Hydrangea: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jGqHtqezpLDHcbQ.html. In this video, the plant has less branches, and they are thick and sturdy, so it is easier to focus in on what is going on! We hope this helps explain a little better.

That was fantastic 👏🪴

I'm in the Vancouver, BC area. My lilac is in a good spot I think, but I've stupidly over-pruned it and I've got no flowers. And I KNOW they thrive on neglect. I'm an idiot. I'll get it right next year. I haven't ruined my wisteria though, tons of flowers and stunning scent. Best ever.

Thanks and welcome to our channel. Don't be too hard on yourself....., look on the "bright side"..... because now that your pruning will have initiated strong new growth, your plant is likely to be bushier and have lots of flowers NEXT YEAR. So, all you've done is delayed the flowering for 12 months! Then when it them finishes flowering, you will know that, that is the time to prune it in subsequent years, so that from then onwards, you can have lots of beautiful flowers and a healthy, vigorous and colorful plant 😉😊👏💚 Have you subscribed to our channel?

Thanks! Lilacs are great - they love the cold, don't need fertilizer, grow in poor soil, and the deer don't eat them! The new shrubby types are a lot different than the old standards. I had one at the old place that was like a multi-stemmed tree. I would go in each year and saw off a third of the stems (the oldest ones) to get new growth. Most of the bush was too big to do any hair cutting. The ones I planted here at the new house were pretty small, and have just reached blooming size this year.

Thanks for letting us know. Now once your little plants begin to grow out and finish flowering you will know what to do to keep them bushy and not bare and "woody" at the base. By pruning them early in their life and consistently, you will be able to enjoy bushy, well shaped plants that you won't need to tackle with a saw. Have you subscribed to our channel?

My home came with a lot of massive old lilacs in the yard. A couple of years ago (before I fenced my yard fully) a neighbor cut down a row of my old lilacs, because he couldn’t tell which were on his property and which were on mine. Now most of them are growing back with new shoots out of the old stumps! I’ll prune these to keep them a manageable size.

Yes, most of these types are grown on their own roots, so any suckers or "layered" shoots that have rooted in, will come true to type. It's always wise to be a little cautious of "pass along plants" because often they are vigorous spreaders that well-meaning people share because they have a lot of it!

My mom's advice from her family, which puts it back into the 19th century, was to always cut out the largest vertical shoot each year. I don't do it regularly, but it seems to be working. I like your idea of reducing the size to keep it vigorous. I have a dwarf lilac that was a gift about 10 years ago. It's amazingly full and lush this spring, but is starting to get a bit too big for the space it's in. I think I'll use your method on it because it doesn't seem to have that tall central cane structure of my other lilacs. Thanks for this video and sharing your knowledge with us!

Hi David. I have a very old lilac that’s size of a small tree. It’s been neglected for many years. I’ve been doing rejuvenate pruning from 2 years ago. This year I’m going to cut everything to the ground to re set it due to only growth on top & very leggy. There’s suckers that grew from my previous cut backs which I’m hoping to take its place. Otherwise another great content. TY.

Sounds like the pruning work you've been doing during the last two years is beginning to pay off. David says, spreading the rejuvenation / renewal pruning over 3-4 years is good practice, it is less drastic and risky and gives the plants a chance to replenish naturally, and of course means that the plants look better too. Thanks for letting us know.

Deer do eat them which is why the mature bushes often have a vase shape with multi-stemmed base which is bare and a canopy of flowers and leaves. Not a bad look.

@OverdevestNurseries

10 ай бұрын

Deer normally leave them alone (at least in David's garden). If they are absolutely starving they might have a go, but normally they will pick on other things. That "vase" shape is more likely to be caused by lack of vigor and declining light levels at the base, which is why if you want well furnished there, means doing the renewal pruning that David was describing.

Hi David. I live in Bedfordshire, UK. Having moved house, I have inherited two very tall lilac trees, but all the flowers are right at the tops, about 10 feet. Can you give any advice on how I can bring the crown back down?

@OverdevestNurseries

Жыл бұрын

We understand, we see this happen fairly frequently, which is why it is important to start pruning them early in their life, so this doesn't happen. Essentially, the "renewal pruning" principle is still the same for your big plants, just look to try to try to encourage some shoots to sprout from lower down by taking out a few of the older branches each year over say a three or four year period. This gradual approach is less traumatic on the plants and eventually will get it back to being healthy and bushy nearer the base. It would probably be a good idea to fortify the ground by topdressing with a layer of nutritious soil or compost and maybe adding a little fertilizer too. Hope this helps.

Our lilac was there when we bought our house. It's tree-sized, and I'm pretty sure from the pics you showed that it's one of the more old-fashioned ones.

David, how and when do you prune the dwarf re-blooming lilacs?

@OverdevestNurseries

Жыл бұрын

Now! Like we show in this video.... immediately after flowering! The principle is exactly the same, except that the new flush of flower buds will appear on the new growth this late-summer and Fall. By pruning them now, you will get a better more concentrated flower flush. Just shorten them back by about 1/3 and if its an older, "woody" plant - do a bit of the renewal pruning too. That will keep them producing new fresh shoots from the base and lower down the plan. Have you subscribed to our channel?

It maybe the variety, some are shy flowering and take quite a few years to reach the flowering stage but it is more likely that perhaps they are getting too much (unintentional) nutrient from say lawn fertilizer or perhaps not enough sunshine, because they flower better in sunny spots.

Any well-balanced formulation that supplies NPK and the micro elements in proportion will do the trick. We are determined to maintain our independence (not be beholding to any one brand or corporation), so we are hesitant to name any specific brands, but if you check with your local garden center experts they will be able to guide you with the ones that they find are best for your local conditions. Also, in checking with David he tells us that he prefers to fertilize his Hellebores in very early spring, before growth starts, doing it is the fall is good too but some elements might get leached out during winter and snow melt.

Red Pixie is a smaller, growing variety but the same principle applies to taller growing ones too, and that's why it is good to start pruning them as young plants. If they haven't been pruned they can get tall and "leggy', and it is possible to get them to replenish near the base again by taking out the proportion of older wood over a three or four year period, and if you are unable to do this on your own, you might have to bring in some outside expertise.

Want to know if your lilac bush is tall and the blooms are coming in but it’s tall what do your do to shorten it

@OverdevestNurseries

We have some sorts that are taller. And with these, the principle is pretty much the same as David is advocating with this wonderful, smaller growing variety. So, when you get a chance, rewatch this video a couple of times and you will see how David prunes it after if finishes flowering. He starts by taking out the dead, damaged and any diseased wood, then thins out the center and shortens back some of the older branches. With your larger plant you could start by pruning a proportion (for example about 1/3) of the larger, taller branches taking them back to the desired height. Then next year, repeat and take out a second 1/3, and then finally in the 3rd year take out the remaining older branches. By this stage you should have younger growths sprouting from lower down and a more vigorous, free flowering plant. Then when you feel more confident, you can get the pruning saw out and take out the older woodier, basal branches to achieve a plant that has strong growth sprouting from near the base of the plant. An annual dressing of a well-balanced fertilizer in early spring will also help to encourage good productive growth. We hope this helps. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Yes, that's part of the idea behind pruning it. If you look again at David's plants you will see that they are flowering all the way from the top to the bottom! Mind you, we suggest that you prune it back in stages - perhaps over a three to four year period. If you care to rewatch this video, you will see David explain about this "renewal" pruning. This is when you would take out about 25% of the older stems each year, eventually getting it back to having flowering stems that are closer to the ground and eye level.

It's important when removing suckers - especially any that come form rootstock on budded or grafted plants, that you dig down and tear off the sucker at the point where it springs from the base of the plant. Many times people just cut them off at ground level and then they resprout with extra vigor and come back even stronger.

Yes, but if you rewatch David's video, you will hear him explain how he likes to take them back gradually by thinning out the major branches and doing that over a 3-4 year period. Its better to start doing that when they are young plants, but with older woodier plants taking out a proportion (a third or a quarter) works well too, and is less traumatic on the plants and you still get to enjoy flowering each spring while the new shoots replenish from lower down the plant.

I live in Northern CA. In 1985 I had 3 lilacs. Over the years 2 of them have died. I have one left. It had 1 tiny lilac this spring, last year it had 3, the year before it had 7. It was really cold and wet this Winter, but we have been i a drought for a long time-years. I have been scared to prune it since the other 2 died. Is there anything else you would recommend that might help it? The plant itself is very heathy looking, nice & green. We have had it since 1985. What time of year should we prune it?

The main thing will be try to provide good growing conditions, so watering during prolonged dry periods and if you haven't done it already put down a layer of mulch, this will help to keep the soil cool and moist and ensure good root growth. Pruning it (like David demonstrates), will help to keep it regenerated with new growth coming from the base, and like David mentions, the best time to prune is soon after it finishes flowering.

Thanks for asking. Sounds like you may have missed the part in this video, where David mentions that the best time to prune lilacs is after they finish flowering. You see, because calendar dates vary according to the area and zone we all live in, that could be almost any date in spring or early summer (in northerly parts), so by pruning them immediately after they finish flowering, it leaves the maximum amount of time for them to regrow and set new flower buds for the following spring.

Hi David and everyone on the conversation! Help! Hoping to find an answer to this - I researched and can't find anything on the subject. We have a new house (and garden :) and were so excited when out late lilacs (I believe they are the villous ones) blossomed. It is my favorite bloom, so I was so happy to start making some bouquets for indoors. But then we were shocked at how bad they smelled inside the house! I tried at different times throughout the blooming period with no success.. When they were the most fragrant, it actually stunk outside too! The usual lilac fragrance was there, but there was definitely another element to it - it smelled like the elephants dwellings when i went to the zoo as a child. I am being a little dramatic, but we have 12 of them throughout our garden and I just inconsolable about this. I smelled the same scent when walking by other gardens in town, so it appears it' s just our bushes but wanted to see what you have to say. Wondering if it is typical for this particular dwarf lilac type. Many thanks!

Жыл бұрын

If you were to see David's face now, there's a big, beaming smile😁😊😉 because he knows not all Lilacs smell alike. The nostalgic sweet fragrances we remember from our childhoods comes from the eastern European common Lilac (Syringa Vulgaris) and its hybrids. But, quite a few of the other species (especially those that hail from China, Korea and Japan, like S. reticulata ), smell more like the sour smell of privet. Remember the reason plants have fragrance is to attract pollinators, and this can be a pleasant, sweet fragrance to a human nose or alternatively (and this is why David is smiling), a putrid, sour smell, that presumably smells enticing to an insect but offensive and off putting to human noses, and inside the confines of a home, that smell is of course concentrated, especially as the flowers mature and pass through the later stages of their development. Some are these (and their hybrids) make really beautiful, hardy and reliable garden plants and outdoors and with careful siting (downwind or at a distance), they make wonderful garden plants but alas, not for cutting. That's one of the great things about buying our plants at Garden centers when they are in flower, we can sniff the flowers before we make your decisions. Its also about experience and knowledge, and with plants every day is a new learning experience and adapting with that knowledge, to get the best from them. So, we are sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with them indoors, but hopefully outdoors you and your pollinator visitors will still be able to enjoy your S. villosa hybrids. And maybe if space permits, you will be able to plants some S. vulgaris hybrids to enjoy and cut for use indoors too. Have you subscribed to our channel?

my lilac is full of leaves with some flowers now... its good for privacy from the neighbor so I dont really want to prune it now, is it ok to prune in the fall when the leaves drop off?

Yes, it can be pruned in the Fall. But remember, the shoots you trim are likely to have flower buds, so it will grow out in spring but may not flower so well. Trimming it immediately after flowering leaves the longest possible time for it to set the buds for the next spring. Have you subscribed to our channel?

thank you

I have seven old lilacs (Syringa vulgaris) in my garden; they are all the size of a small tree now. They look pretty for two weeks per year but the fight with the suckers never stops. They pop out everywhere. If I could start my garden from scratch, I would never plant a lilac in it again.

That is an unfortunate characteristic of S. vulgaris, rather than give up on all Lilacs because of thus type, cam we encourage you to think about the other ones that DON'T sucker..... 😉😊👏💚👍 For instance, you will see that the dwarf ones (Bloomerang Dark Purple, Red Pixie & Miss Kim), that David highlights in this video.... All DO NOT have any suckers, and of course they take up less space and the flowers are closer to eye level, so you can enjoy them better. Also, have you considered subscribing to our channel?

@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you for such a comprehensive answer. At this very moment my garden is "full to the brim" and I cannot plant any more shrubs or trees unless I get rid of the existing ones, which I cannot do for certain reasons. I live in central Europe, by the way.

I would like to know how to get rid of them

If you men lilacs, that shouldn't be a problem, there's plenty of people that love them and would delight in getting hold of some if you are ever digging then out.
