Why does my standard lilac tree only have a few blooms?

Did you do any trimming at the end of last summer or fall? If so that could be why. Early blooming species of which Lilac is one form their buds throughout last summer. Lilacs should be deadheaded and or trimmed if desired right after blooming. That way all the little buds will form on the branches to come out the next spring.





Once in a while a tree or bush can have a reduced number of blossoms. One of mine didn%26#039;t have many 2 years ago but recovered fine the next year.

Why does my standard lilac tree only have a few blooms?
Cut it down close to the root every few years - it will force new branches and blooms. If you don%26#039;t want to cut the branches that low, the at least cut of all the flowers each season. bring them in the house. this will force new growth on the existing branches but hot help w/ the legginess...
Reply:when lilacs get too %26quot;leggy%26quot; they dont bloom as much usually just at the tops of the tree you need to prune them at the end of this summer
Reply:Sounds like your bush has been seen with it%26#039;s bloomers down.
