We've got several of these in our garden and they've got out of control (moved here 6 months ago), when's the right time to prune them? Currently all in flower. Thanks.

Lilac trees should be cut immediately after flowering. You can be quite ruthless with them.

Finished flowering I mean.

Best if you are ruthless - they'll grow and grow until they snap.
