I am also a lilac person. I wish I had them surrounding our yard and growing everywhere...
however, my birds like them so much I am afraid they will never spread as they lie under the lilacs and take dust baths.

The deer kept my lilacs trimmed so they are tall rather than bushy. Now I have hundreds of lilacs coming up from seed under my juniper trees.

The junipers around here harbor Cedar rust which ruins my apples, so I try to kill all of them.


A nearly impossible job.

I planted Rocky Mountain Junipers since it is the cedars that harbor Cedar Rust.

We have a "shrub" that is called a Junniper, I am not sure if it is.

It could well be some kind of dwarf cedar. I have seen the unsightly gob of goop that is called cedar rust in them.

is there anything that inhibits cedar rust on apples.

My Rocky Mountain Junipers are about 20' tall so are in no way a shrub.

There are treatments for Cedar Rust and apple trees.

Rjohns....just went & checked out your entry. Nice! Now I'm hungry!!
Can't grow lilacs in Memphis. But found several older variety bushes I planted in Missouri. I think the older varieties have better scent than some of the new cultivars. I dont care for the appearence of the bush. So I tucked them along the periphery of my property. Nothing better than cut blooms in the house...but a close second are the lilies of the valley.

The rooster is generally used for eggs, but since it was required in the contest, figured veggies and herbs would do nicely.

@rjohns39 What breed is the rooster sitting on your table?
