This is a variety of Syringa pekinensis and has been reproduced asexually from a tree found growing at Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the characteristics of an upright growth habit of 12 feet wide and 18 feet tall without the benefit of cultural pruning and trimming. Propagated by me asexually it produced straight-growing progeny with a strong central leader; a tree crown producing an abundance of fine textured deep green leaves and large cream colored flower trusses annually. The bark is a lustrous reddish-brown with many very horizontal lenticels. Progeny produced show rapid and sustained growth.
