June 11, 2021 — Chinese Tree Lilac

Syringa reticulata, commonly called Chinese Tree Lilac, typically grows as a small tree or a large shrub. The showy, fragrant, creamy white flowers in early summer really calls you to get out and enjoy the fragrance.

A group of these trees can be found in the Rushmore neighborhood on the Medford Campus. Enjoy!
