My oldest lilac-
I am guessing that this lilac was planted in the early 60’s. It was the most fragrant of all I have, the newer ones were planted about 1980.
Two years ago this “old timer” started to wither and look sickly. I then did some weeding, pruning and watering. I added granular fertilizer around the whole root area.
Now 2 years later I got new sprouts coming and the leaves are big and glossy. It gets water every morning when I fill the birdbath. This one is now 10 feet high.
Makes me feel good that I was able to save this one.
