Ivory Silk® Japanese Tree Lilac

Why it rocks:

Ivory Silk® Japanese Tree Lilac is a unique flowering tree, grown in single-trunk and multi-stem clump forms. It draws attention in late spring when few trees bloom, showcasing fluffy clusters of creamy white flowers that attract birds and butterflies—a true delight of nature! Its light, inviting fragrance fosters a warm ambiance that engages the senses. The tree boasts a prolific blooming cycle, accompanied by slightly showy brown capsules that linger through summer and into winter. In the fall, its dark green leaves transform into stunning shades of bronze and yellow-gold. The ornamental beauty is further enhanced by the reddish-brown peeling bark on younger branches, which evolves into a shiny silvery-gray as it matures. Additionally, this tree is well-known for its strong resistance to common lilac pests, such as powdery mildew, scale, and borers. Consider planting Ivory Silk® in your landscape for a breathtaking tree that will captivate the senses throughout every season.

Where to put it:

Ivory Silk® Japanese Tree Lilac is an incredibly adaptable compact tree! Its smaller size makes it perfect for parkways and areas beneath utility lines. Additionally, it serves as an excellent choice for an accent tree in landscape beds around your home, enhancing the charm and elegance of your outdoor space. When planted in a multi-stem clump form, Ivory Silk® Japanese Tree Lilac provides effective screening near decks or patios. Ensure that you plant this tree 7-10 feet away from nearby structures to give it ample space to reach its full mature spread.

What it needs:

Ivory Silk® Japanese Tree Lilac thrives in full sunlight and well-drained soil. It is resilient to dry conditions and road salt. While this tree is generally low-maintenance, it benefits from pruning after flowering to promote a vibrant bloom cycle in the following spring. To support a strong & healthy root system, please adhere to our tree care guidelines during the initial growing seasons.
