Pollination Info

The Ivory Silk Lilac Tree (Syringa reticulata 'Ivory Silk') is a deciduous tree that blooms in late spring to early summer. It is a hybrid of Syringa reticulata and Syringa velutina, two species of lilac trees that are native to China. Pollination for the Ivory Silk Lilac Tree is achieved through cross-pollination by insects, particularly bees and butterflies. The tree's flowers are fragrant and attract these pollinators, which transfer pollen from one tree to another. In terms of cross-pollination, it is important to note that the Ivory Silk Lilac Tree is not self-fertile. Therefore, it is recommended to plant at least two trees for optimal pollination and fruit production. Once pollinated, the Ivory Silk Lilac Tree produces showy clusters of creamy white flowers that are held on long panicles. These flowers give way to small, round fruit that are not commonly eaten by humans. Overall, the Ivory Silk Lilac Tree is a beautiful and reliable addition to any landscape, providing both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits through its role as a pollinator attractor.
