I need some ideas as I have a 30 year old lilac tree that has borers. The tree has been going down hill for the last couple of years but I thought it was because of winter damage. Now I see that it has borers (sp?)
It is about 90% gone and I see that it has about 8 - 10 holes that I can find. I am thinking of chopping it below the lowest bore hole and hope that it sprouts. Has anyone tried this or attempted to get a lilac to recover from the borers? I don't want to spend the money to have the yard crew inject it. Thanks for any ideas.
