Dead lilac tree

QuestionsDead lilac tree

I have a lilac tree about 10 yrs old. It started to lean over but was stopped falling by a coal bunker. The bark at the bottom of the trunk has lifted all the way around. We supported it up again and watered well – but the leaves have all withered and it looks dead. This happened just after it was in flower.
