Perhaps the finest of the lilac trees, the S. reticulata has dark green leaves that become arching in mature trees, lending a graceful appearance. With a medium growth rate, this hardy tree reaches 9-12' over 6-8 years, to a mature height of 20-30', with a 15-25' spread. Fragrant white blossoms form large beautiful panicles up to 12" long. An excellent specimen, this lilac makes a great street tree.
