Japanese Tree Lilac
Japanese Tree Lilac The Japanese Tree Lilac (2002 Iowa Tree of the Year), with its attractive multi-stemmed clump form and ravishingly fragrant, creamy-white panicles, now graces many residential yards as well as parking lots, medians and commercial properties. Landscapers love this plant for its interesting spreading branches and vase-shaped crown, its long June-through-July blooming season and its very easy care. Ruddy, cherry-like bark and neat, dark green leaves contrast nicely with the creaminess of the flowers. The Japanese Tree Lilac needs at least six hours of good sun for flowering and likes regular watering, but has no fussy soil requirements. Be careful to avoid using lawn fertilizer around the plant base, or you may encourage more foliage than flowers. If pruning is needed, do so right after flowering. Zones 3-7.
