The Ivory Silk lilac tree is from Japan that is grown for its large clusters of white flowers that appear in June after most other lilacs are done blooming.  It’s a small tree that can be multi-stemmed or single-stemmed, with dark green leaves and ornamental bark.  This tree doesn’t have any serious pests or diseases and tolerates urban conditions.

This tree prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. It works well as a small yard tree or as a screen when planted in rows.
