OTHER: The White Tree Lilac has huge 6” densely packed clusters of beautiful fragrant flowers. The fragrance is a delicious honey-lilac that attracts bees, butterflies, & HUMMINGBIRDS. Despite all of it’s names having “tree” in them, this lilac is considered a large shrub to a small tree, & they can be pruned to your desired shape. You can grow them as an upright single trunked tree, or allow the the arching branches to spread out in shrub form. They have a medium growth rate of 1-2' a year. The plants are deer resistant, & able to tolerate clay soil & pollution (a very ornamental street tree!). They are extremely cold hardy, & can even be grown in containers.
