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, multi-stemmed or single-stemmed tree 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.
