I was looking at the trunks of the lilacs that I cut down yesterday but couldn't see clear rings like trees to determine how old they are. I'm guessing in the 50+ year range but they had not been properly tended to in a LONG time. So much dead, dying, too tall, too thin, too sparse, and not enough new growth from the bases. I'm hoping the thinning will help them with a bit of a reset.
