THE Tree Lilac
About the Tree
Lilac :
The Tree Lilac, Syringa reticulata,
'Ivory Silk' is a heavily flowering tree,
covered by large plumes of small white
flowers in the beginning of summer. It’s
dark green leaves blending with it’s
fragrant lavender flowers are a favorite for
spring-time landscapes. Lilac lovers prefer
the mutiple-stemmed, large shrub. The Tree
Lilac is also called a Japanese tree lilac
or Ivory Silk lilac. This small deciduous
tree has recently attracted the interest of
urban foresters as a small tree for planting
under power lines. The leaves are similar to
the common lilac shrub, dark green and
oppositely attached to a shiny brown, stout
stem.
The Japanese tree lilac is very hardy and
able to withstand winter temperatures as low
as 30 degrees below zero. The Ivory Silk
Tree Lilac is useful as a specimen or a
street tree, as well as in a group, screen,
or windbreak. It flowers more heavily than
other lilac species. Ivory Silk is probably
the most trouble free and tough lilac that
is available. |
