Japanese Tree Lilac vs Silver Leaf Willow
Syringa reticulata
Salix alba sericea
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SOLD OUT
Japanese Tree Lilac is an attractive, heavy-flowering lilac with fragrant white blossoms. It can be pruned to a single stem or grown as a multi-stemmed shrub.
Japanese Tree Lilac's dark reddish-brown bark peels as the tree ages, creating visual appeal for any yard, especially in the winter.
This tree is often planted along boulevards and its attractive white flowers signal spring to all who drive by.
Native to North America, Silver Leaf Willow has orangish bark and long, silvery grey leaves. Bees and other insects are attracted to its flowers.
Popular as an ornamental tree for parks, it is also used as a shelterbelt species. It may not be as cold hardy as some of the other willow varieties, however.
