Hello from Minnesota. We have a few warm days up here so I’m taking advantage of the weather to address my lilac bushes.
My understanding is to cut down any of the branches when they get to be pretty thick. Before I got started though I thought I’d ask for some advice.
You can see in the picture that I have a few tall and thick branches and a ton of thin new growth. What I’ve cut so far has mostly been to keep it out of the neighbors yard and out of my way when I mow.
Should I trim down the very tall branches? Will that let all of the new growth thrive? Should I let it be? Thanks!

Cut dig & replace them with spruces along the fence
Pruning lilacs is something you do immediately after they finish blooming.
