I'm back indoors in the warm after cutting back the lilac. The weather is a complete contrast to yesterday, 10 C colder and also windier.
I cut all the branches that could be done with my electric secateurs and then I made holes along the front fence and pushed the cuttings in. Perhaps some of them will root, the weather forecast is for rain from tomorrow until the middle of next week so perhaps they won't need watering.
Any lilac experts here? Is it likely that they will take root?
I'll go out later and cut the rest down with a bow saw.
