Ornamental Tree
Japanese Lilac
Syringa reticulata
Japanese Lilac is a showy small tree that adds structure, fragrance, and seasonal interest to the landscape. Its spreading branches form an oval-to-vase-shaped crown, and its large white flower clusters bloom later in spring than most other flowering ornamentals.
It works well as a specimen planting or in grouped landscape designs where ornamental bloom and a manageable size matter.
