I've got lilac shoots coming up around my lilac tree. What should I be doing about them? Cut them off at ground level? That's what my gut tells me, but I thought I'd ask here. The tree is doing OK, had some flowers on it last year, and lots of leaf buds on it now.

I cut off all the dead wood on the honeysuckle, now I have to transplant it, it's been 2 years in the pot it's in, and it's really got to be changed.
