Lilacs in need of your help

mushermusher Posts: 389

My Lilacs are in lumber.Hardly any leaf as developed. The flowers were developing nicely And then totally out of the blue. They've turned brown and are turning in to a chrispy powder. To me its fungal. But can the situation be retrieved. They are mature.and at the moment i'm thi king about removing them. What do you guys think?
