Prune lightly, cut back flowered shoots to strong buds on lower growth. To maintain or create shape it is possible, on established plants, to cut back one quarter of old shoots to the base to promote replacement growth. This can be done annually after flowering

What time of year can you trim a lilac tree?

New lilac bushes don't require maintenance pruning until they are about 6 - 8' tall. The time to prune mature lilac plants is just after the flowers have faded. They set the next season's flower buds almost immediately, so late pruning will mean sacrificing next year's flowers. Pruning early also gives the new shoots more energy to develop.

How can I effectively trim a mimosa tree?

To effectively trim a mimosa tree, use sharp pruning shears to remove dead or damaged branches, and trim back any overgrown areas to maintain a balanced shape. Avoid cutting too much at once to prevent stress on the tree, and prune during the tree's dormant season for best results.


If someone mows over a two and a half foot tall lilac bush is it possible for the plant to survive?

I have had a similar experience with a 3 ft lilac bush. It is (still alive and coming back!) Rather than a lawnmower trim, it was pruned to about 6 inch height after a large tree limb fell upon it and destroyed most of the branches. This occurred about two years ago and now and is approx 2 ft in height. The new growth branches are spreading naturally. (Zone 5 for your reference.)
