This lilac was planted four years ago and is 8 to 9 feet in height (see photo) As I don’t wish to let it get too large for its present location, can you advise, please: When and how should pruning be done?
In early spring, or after flowering, lightly prune to remove some small shoots and shorten some others, but not all. Light pruning each year keeps it small.
