I don't think you should trim them at all. I would just let them go for a year and then see what needs to be done. How big are they? I tried to kill my lilac when I got it. I put it under an area of my roof where it could get watered on it's own. We had a microburst and the poor thing about drowned! LOL

Here it is 4 years later. It's just behind the arborvitae against the fence.

Can you believe all this snow?
