Hi folks,
Do any of you have James McFarlane & Donald Wyman lilacs.
I know the tag says they get to be 10ft high by 6-8 ft wide but what has your experience been with this type, also does this type get leggy. Any idea on how many inchs/ft they grow per year if they are in full sun with plenty of air circulation around them? Lastly, would you use them as a hedge to line a driveway.
Common lilacs. I have a friend that wants them gone. Can I sever the little ones coming out of the bottom & try rooting powder with soil to get them growing on their own. Do I have to do this in a cold frame with misting til they root or can I put them straight in the ground where they will ultimately go.
Thank you.
Joel.
EDIT: I forgot to ask. I read you should cut 1/3 of them down when you plant them. Is this true???
