Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac Tree,

The tree came packed well. It has a straight trunk. I did not realize there are no lower branches. The foliage is starts about 6 ft up and is sparse at best right now. Hoping is fills in quickly.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThanks so much for the feedback! We’re happy it arrived packed well and looks great. It’s common for the Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac Tree to start with branches higher on the trunk, then gradually fill in lower as it settles in and grows. Keep an eye on new growth—next season is often when you see the fuller shape. If you have questions, we’re here to help.

White Lilac Tree Tall, Healthy and Beautiful

I ordered this ornamental White Lilac as a centerpiece and feature for a 'memory garden' in my front yard. This tree arrived in very good condition, was well shipped, and was packaged in a way that it was easy to keep healthy after arrival, even though I couldn't get it into the ground for about a week after arrival. The pot was covered in a clear plastic bag, and I left it in the bag and added maybe 16 ounces of water, and it held the moisture level perfectly until I could get this planted. I even had new growth on the limb ends before planting. So healthy! It came out of the pot easy enough, and I followed the planting and care instructions on the website. The tree is straight, and well grown. I ordered the 5-6 foot size, and this was every bit of 6 feet tall. This was my first Fast Growing Trees purchase, and I will always look here for purchasing shrubs, plants and trees in the future. I've ordered from other sources, but here I found competitive pricing, a very healthy plant, and a great start to a tree I've been wanting for a very long time. I can't wait to see her bloom next spring!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe love this, Cari! We're so thrilled your Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac arrived in very good condition and is now thriving as the centerpiece of your memory garden. Your thoughtful approach to keeping it healthy before planting was perfect. We're so honored to have earned your trust as a first time customer and we can't wait to help with future orders. Those gorgeous blooms next spring are going to be so worth the wait!

Looks great, doing well

It arrived in good shape. Seems to be happy in the spot where it's planted. I'm looking forward to it filling out.

Japanese Lilac Tree

I am very pleased with the Japanese Lilac. Ordered it a year ago - was just a stick with a couple tiny branches - almost no root - doubted it would grow, but after a year it is flourishing - multiple branches - green leaves.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe love this update, Dan! As a nursery we send our trees at the perfect stage for establishing and bare beginnings are completely normal. Going from a stick with tiny branches to a multi-branched flourishing tree in just one year is such a rewarding result. The blooms that are coming are going to make it even more worth the wait!
