Vicki Sawicki Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Can someone give me some good references to the invasive properties of common lilac? What does it do that makes it invasive? What is it hurting? Any known "horror story" locations? References on the subject would be helpful too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Grzesiak Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 A quick Google (and Google Scholar) search didn't bring up much of anything (apart from the fact that the plant isn't native to the US, and can naturalize, or at least survive without cultivation). My personal experience is that lilac isn't native, but doesn't appear to be escaping either. The times I've seen it in the wild it has been clearly planted at historic/previous homestead sites, and just grown larger in place (not moved).
