Lilac pruning & flowering
Good morning!
I have 2 lilacs in my garden. One I pruned last year in late spring straight after flowering (I pruned it moderately, I didn't pollard it), then mulched with well rotted manure the following winter. The other one I ignored.
The one I ignored is now in flower. The one I pruned and mulched is not, with no signs of flower buds.
Should I draw the obvious conclusion that the lack of flowers was due to pruning? And is this normal and to be expected?
