It is a nice garden tree, requiring little care. The Tree Lilac is also called a Japanese tree lilac or Ivory Silk lilac. It is also being used as a landscape street tree. It flowers more heavily than other lilac species. It is able to withstand winter temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero.

I'm not so sure about this, and I don't think there's really much difference between it and a seedling. Having said that, I love this tree! I've got a seedling JTL and can't imagine not having one. Mine flowers more heavily every other year, but even in an off year it puts on a show. Plus, it flowers later in the season (late June up here) and has the stage pretty much to itself. Here's a picture I took of an old multi-stemmed JTL that had about a 40'spread. \imagelink {http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/maackia/Woody%20Stuff/Deciduous%20Tr ees/HPIM1732.jpg} Zonenvy - Wisconsin, Zone "4"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, July 19, 2008 - 04:24 am EST :    Beautiful tree! Is it scented just like the better known lilacs? Treelover - County Durham,UK, Zone "8/9"
