A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
The leaves on my lilac have been turning yellow, then brown, and then falling off, but the flowers are fine. What is wrong with it, and how can I save it?
Your plant has lilac blight, which affects just the leaves. To save the tree, get rid of the diseased leaves, then spray the rest of the leaves with a copper solution.
