Q.Why Doesn’t My Lilac Bush Have Any Leaves in the Middle of the Bush?
My lilac bush is fairly full at outer edges and top, but there are no leaves in center of the bush. I think it is not appealing to the eye this way. Please help I want a little fuller bush!

This happens when light has a hard time getting into the middle of the bush. Pruning for better light penetration and air flow will help. This article will help:
