What is the proper method to create a root on a lilac cutting?

Hmm....lilacs?
Cut a shoot off the side of the lilac tree (small one), root it in some potting soil in a small pot until it starts to grow than transplant the whole thing (soil and all) wherever you want. Do you know that it takes 7 years for a lilac tree to grow and flower? That is what I have heard. I have planted two from New England to North Carolina about 10 years ago and this is the first year they have bloomed. They are about waist high now. Of course, the different weather here could have hindered them as well, they like cold winters to grow. Good luck. I absolutely love them, they were always my favorite flower. Not too many of them here though in the sunny south.
Reply:they are also a very thirsty plant. I used to live in rochester, NY where they hold annual lilac parades.
Reply:Put the lilac cutting in a pot of soil, wait for them to establish themselves, and then you can transplant it once it%26#039;s doing well and has a good root system. It does take a while before they%26#039;ll flower. My mum had a lot of lilacs at home, and the purple ones were established well by the time I have memories (I remember that I took them in for my teachers ever since I%26#039;ve been in school); later on she ordered white ones, and they took about six years to bloom at all. The first few blooms were really small and short-lived.
Reply:take a cutting and dip it in rooting hormone then plant it where you would like it to grow that is what I have done and it works
