My lilac Tree has moss on it What do i do?

Your question was about a tree, however, it is really about a shrub. Lillacs, in certain conditions, can grow into tree shape, however, they will always be a shrub.

First off you need to be calm and think about this. The solution to your problem is exactly what you see in front of you!! The exposure and soil content are your problem. That coupled with a few years of missed prunings, I would guess, hold the keys.

Moss and Lilac are like salt and pepper. Moss will grow in moist and northern exposure whereas the Lilac loves the drier eastern and southern exposure. Complete opposites.

I can put pepper on my food or salt. Eventually one will dominate . In this case, the Moss. It can and will continue to win because it is it's habitate.

Do not use your time removing the moss. Spend it preparing a proper bed for the transplanting of the shrubs. Dig a hole roughly three foot wide and as deep. The second hole should not be less than four foot away to allow for growth.

Prepare the soil with a Canadian Sphagnum Moss, and granular (if available) bone meal mix. Mix in some of the topsoil and make sure the mix is uniform in texture. Water and let it sit a week.

With spades or shovels dig out the Lilacs at two foot from the base and three foot deep. You will undertake this only after the bush has dropped it's flowers! Remove any moss before you do the transplant to a sunny and airy place. Put a granular basic low grad fert in the hole and above ground on the replanting. Water it well for at least two weeks.

As a Designer I love the Lilac. As a Designer I hate the homeowner. People want the wrong plant in the wrong place. A Forsythia is much like a Lilac. It needs to grow to bloom. The more room, the less attention, the more it blooms. Set yours in an area where you can let them grow and yet not impose on your garden. I should mention that you should hand prune about 1/3 off the top and side before you transplant. Makes the plant want to survive. Good Luck.

I wish I knew how to get rid of the moss that is growing on my trees, side of my house, gas tank. It will eventually cover everything I have read that moss will kill the trees

My shades were lavender and white, I were given the brides maid clothing for 12.00 each and each and every off eBay. They were chinese clothing and that i also had my wedding ceremony gown custom made from between the sellers on eBay too and it grew to grow to be out beautiful. I had my flowers finished through a woman that makes bouquets and sells on eBay as well. i will include the hyperlinks for you once you've an activity. I made my own wedding ceremony cake and used an surprising coaching guide that anybody can use, would not be counted once you've adorning journey or no longer. each and each and every of the hyperlinks are interior the source section.

THE MOSS CAN KILL THE PLANT. JUST PRUNE SEVERLY AND PULL OFF THE REMAINING MOSS. GOOD LUCK
