This decision can be problematic with Lilacs. We recommend you do not trim a Lilac bush. It is counter to normal transplanting wisdom, as trimming plants allows the plant to focus on re-growing the root system. But, trimming a lilac bush can result in trimming away next year's blooms. To remove the plant from its current location, dig deep and wide. The more roots you get, the more successful the transplant, with less transplant shock. Dig a hole in the new location.
