Lilac Tree	From: Debra H, UK
	I have had a dwarf lilac tree for about 4 years. It was virtually just a stick when I bought it, but it is about 6 foot tall it looks very healthy but why does it not produce lilac? Any help would be appreciated. Debra

Lilac Trees	From: Paul B, UK
	I would like to grow lilac in my garden, there is a well established tree nearby, can you tell me how I can take a cutting and get it to grow in my garden.
	From Alex M, UK Hi Paul, firstly get the permission of your neighbour to take cuttings otherwise it is tantamount to 'Theft'. During July/August take 3"-4" (75-100m) heeled cuttings off half ripe shoots.Insert the cuttings in equal parts by volume Peat and sharp sand (sometimes known as River sand) . Place on a hot bed to set to give a bottom heat of 16C (61F). Regularly spray (mist) them to prevent them drying out.When rooted pot up individually into 4" (100mm) pots of potting compost. Grow on for a couple of years before putting in final setting. n.b. it might be easier to find some 'suckers' that grow from the base of the tree and plant them up..............A Can any other Gardeners Club members help Paul out?
