How can you to tell if your lilac tree or lilac bush is dying?

To determine if your lilac tree or bush is dying, look for signs such as wilting or yellowing leaves, lack of blooming in spring, and brittle or dead branches. Inspect the bark for cracks or peeling, and check the roots for rot or damage. Additionally, if the plant is shedding leaves early or has an overall stunted growth, these could indicate health issues. If you notice these symptoms, it may be time to assess the plant's care or consult a gardening expert.
