Tree with Purple Flowers
If it's very fragrant, it looks like a lilac bush. The close-up picture
also shows the leaves, which also look like lilac leaves. Are you located in a northern region? Lilacs grow beautifully in colder climates. I used to have several huge bushes all over my yard when I lived in upstate NY. Here in North Carolina, lilacs do not perform well due to heat, fungal diseases, etc. I miss my Colorado Blue Spruce, Lilac Bushes, and White Birch. I now have a few River Birches, but they don't even come close to the white in their beauty. Oh well, I suppose I should be happy with the longer growing season and the variety of different things that do thrive here. Penny Zone 7b - North Carolina "BiG Orange" @ wrote in message ...

I lived on Long Island in zone 7a and I'd consider that pretty much a northern region. Where do you live in 7a which is not a northern region? If it's south of the Mason Dixon line, lilacs may not perform well for you as they require a certain amount of chill hours to develop. |

I'm in TN and one out of 8 of my lilacs bloomed for the first time last year - when I moved it to an area shaded in the summer. Kate |

It gets that bad here in the Baltimore/DC area in summer, too, but lilacs thrive -- my sister inherited some that were up to the second story of her house (formerly her husband's grandmother's). But they need full sun to bloom. Our neighbors planted some when they moved in seven years ago, and they're over eight feet tall now. Move 'em into full sun and watch 'em go! |

You need to find out by an extension agent how many chill hours your garden gets. Heat is not what does them in, the lack of chill hours does. |
