Japanese Tree Lilac

I have had this shrub in my back yard for years. I planted this clearance plant thinking it was a Viburnum.  It took several years for it to bloom.  When it finally did it had just a few graceful Lilac blooms. Then I discovered it was a type of Lilac.  This Season it is has gotten very tall and has many booms just starting to set.

A Japanese lilac tree (Syringa reticulate) is small tree, growing only to 25 feet tall and wide. This tree bears panicles of flowers in early summer that are similar to those on a lilac bush. Deep green leaves cover this tree in the spring and summer, falling off in the autumn to reveal the many branches. The flowers of the Japanese lilac tree tend to be smaller and the color range is more limited than that of the blooming lilac bush, though just as fragrant. Proper care of the Japanese lilac tree will assure the tree lives up to 100 years.
