Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac

The Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac is a superb small tree suitable for cooler parts of the country. It has a narrower form, fitting well into smaller gardens and urban settings. In June it puts on a big show of fluffy fragrant flowers that are creamy-white, and the leaves are light yellow in fall. The attractive bark and twigs make an excellent impression in winter. Perfect as a small lawn specimen, at the back of beds, against walls and along property lines. It has good vertical branching allowing easy movement beneath it and space for planting smaller shrubs.

• Perfect small flowering tree for cooler areas
• Huge blooms of fluffy creamy-white in June
• Yellow leaves in fall
• Leaves are always healthy and clean
• Upright, narrower tree for smaller gardens

Full sun is best for the Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac, but it will take a little partial shade too. It grows best in cooler regions with cold winters and cooler summers, such as the northeast and upper Midwest. It grows well in ordinary well-drained soils, including urban soils and disturbed ground. Its foliage stays clean and healthy all summer and it is generally free of pests and diseases. Trim up the trunk to the desired height while young, and prune after flowering, if needed.
