    Take picture and maybe a cutting to.your local nursery. They are great help and know your area best

    Looks like a lilac clean out the dead maybe take a stem to a nursery they can tell you and how to care for it

    Post a better picture. It isn't a lilac. Lilac's don't grow like that. Does it flower and what color is the flower? It may be a crape myrtle.
