| I have a 10 year old Chinese lilac that was hit by a medium size tree over the winter. About half the lilac bush at the base was broken off. The rest of it was intact. Now that Spring has arrived, there aren't any leaves yet. There are some small tiny red buds on some of the branches. Would the falling tree have put the Bush in shock? Or killed it? I live in the Northeast. Stoneham Massachusetts. |

| Try doing the scrape test near the bottom of the trunk. Just scape off some bark near the bottom. If it's green it's alive. If it's brown it's dead. If it is alive try cutting off any dead branches. Good luck 🍀 Mindi |
