| Personally I'd wait until fall and let them continue to develop their own roots. You could cut a few of them with a sharp spade to hasten the process, now-ish should be OK. I'd nursery some of them and pot others to give away - only pot up what you know you can give away. Dan |

| I have a little sucker on my variagated lilac. It showed up last year . At that point I cut the root between it and the main bush and let it get it's own roots and will dig it up and transplant it this year. |
