Certified ExpertA.This can have many causes, and pruning can usually solve the issue, along with a fertilizer in spring. Can you include a photo, so that I may see what is going on?

Eatonville Wa 98328Q.lilacs
I have a purple lilac tree in my backyard. This year it has two or three clusters of white flowers. Is this normal? Will my entire plant turn white? I have been trying to look it up and it says something about grafting? I have lived here for 8 years and this is the first time it has done this.

May 12, 2018A.Most likely your Lilac is a grafted bush and the root stock has sent up a shoot that is of white stock.
You can enjoy the color or try to cut out that portion of the shrub.

Toronto, ontario canadaQ.Ivory silk lilac
Hello. I have 3 ivory silk lilacs. One is doing well and the other two grow much slower and smaller leaves. One has a channel running up the side which looks like the bark isn't growing but the inside of the tree is so the bark is splitting. Also the bottom of that tree looks a little pregnant. Some of the branches don't bear leaves so I end up cutting those off as they eventually die. Any ideas how I can save these trees?

Certified ExpertA.I am noticing harmless fungal growth on the side of the plant, which tells me that there may be something lurking in your soil. Although this isn't going to kill your plant on its own, what is in the soil might.
I would apply wettable sulfur in the soil along with dolomitic lime. This will kill off anything lurking in your soil, and get it started back to perfect health.

May 17, 2018Q.Why isn’t my lilac blooming
Good afternoon, I have 4 lilac bushes planted in a row all facing Wes. Three of the four bloom just fine every year albeit more flowers would be even better. The forth on the other hand never blooms. The plant looks very health a vigorous but no blooms at all. It appears to expends its energy producing new shoots instead of producing fragrant flowers. Any suggestions on how to make this lilac bloom? BTW: all four bushes are about 7' tall. Thanks
