Reply to cdnsv: Yes, this lilac has come back very well, as they always seem to do. However, the next job becomes thinning out all the sprouts that emerge, and cutting them to varying heights to begin to shape of the new lilac. If your soil tends to be acidic (below pH 6.0) lilacs benefit from a light application of (nonburning) agricultural lime.
Do you have an update on this particular lilac? I need to do something similar on my property and I'm wondering how yours turned out after the significant trimming.
