Friday, 7:30 AM. 70 degrees, wind WSW, very light, the channel is almost calm, the sky is nearly clear with some haze, and the barometer predicts sunny weather. A real warm day lies ahead, with no rain in sight.
The Japanese tree lilac, Syringa reticulata, is a very hardy small tree, beautiful in bloom and very useful as an ornamental street tree. The Pekin lilac is rather similar but more shrubby.
The species and varieties that can be used as small decorative street trees is very limited, due to the rather strict requirements for street trees, and this one fills the bill nicely.
