Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: My lilac, 1 by pollyk

Just wanted to show a picture of our lilacs. We purchased a property that last had a house on it around 1900. It appeared there were two lilacs planted, one probably at the front door, and one at the back, as was common back in those days. In our area, apparently people peddled lilacs door to door. They are now about 20' X 40-50' each. It is the common lilac Syringa Vulgaris. We put a fence in the area about 8 years ago, and you can see it to the left. The lilacs have grown about 6' past the end of the fence. Moral of the story, ----I don't know, I love them, but certainly not for the city 1/4 acre.
