Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac
Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac has an exotic flare. Large plumes of incredibly fragrant flowers show up in late spring to early summer when most other trees have finished their bloom cycle. Our family partner nursery grows this tree in both the single trunk (caliper) and the multi-stem clump form (multiple trunks). Ivory Silk does well in landscape beds to anchor the corners of your home, and along property lines for privacy & screening. Or, consider planting the single trunk form of this tree on the parkway.
