It should double its height this season, but probably won't flower for several years.
Lilacs are wonderfully win- hardy and grow in almost any soil. They are deciduous, and in the Spring come out with leaves and sprays of scented flowers. The flowers look great in a vase too.
The last pic is an 'aerial' view showing all the new shoots filling the pot. A nice healthy plant.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

We are progressing well and are about to commence work on installing a chamber and more pipework at the intersection of Conclusion St and Warspite Ave, Waitangirua. This work will take about one month from 21 October – 21 November, hours of work will generally be 7am-10pm.
From 21 October, a one-way system will be in place with a detour route along Conclusion Street and Desert Gold Street.
Warspite Ave will be reduced to a single lane during the work, through the peaks and out of hours. This will result in significant journey time increase. Please find an alternative route wherever possible.

“I wanted to create an energetic, engaging illustration that captured the essence of Wellington, the Wairarapa, and the spirit of our place and people, incorporating the sights you’ll see along the way,” says Chris. “It’s a journey from the city to country, starting with a coffee and finishing with a Wairarapa wine. I’ve used a ribbon of road to portray the journey and link the various elements.”
Chris says it’s a great feeling knowing visitors from all around the world will be looking at his distinctive artwork and he enjoyed working with Tranzit on this project.
“I always aim to create something that connects with people, so a potential global audience is a great test of that,” he says.
“Tranzit was a pleasure to work with. Right form the get go Tessa and the team had a vision to create a statement piece. They gave me plenty of scope to create something exciting and unique … the perfect client!”
