Japanese Lilac
1904 Clarence Ave. — Aden Bowman High School, (north side of building)
The Japanese Lilac Syringa reticulata is larger than most of the shrub lilacs and blooms later in spring. It produces large clusters of small, creamy-white, fragrant flowers. It can grow 20-40 feet tall with a canopy spread almost as wide and is hardy in Hardiness Zones 3-7. It is native to eastern Asia and is grown as an ornamental in Europe and North America.
The Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac Syringa reticulata "Ivory Silk" is similar but smaller. The natural form is multi stemmed but Ivory Silk is grown as a tree form with one trunk.
