Why Plant Great Wall® Tree Lilac?
The Great Wall® Tree Lilac brings a refined, four-season presence to the landscape. In June, it bursts into bloom with massive clusters of fragrant, creamy-white flowers that provide a stunning show after most spring trees have finished flowering. As summer gives way to fall and winter, its bark takes the spotlight, peeling in shades of cinnamon and amber that stand out against snow and evergreen backdrops. Bred for disease resistance and easy care, Great Wall® is a reliable, ornamental tree that delivers beauty from one season to the next without fuss.
How to use Great Wall® Tree Lilac in the landscape?
Great Wall® Tree Lilac is a versatile choice for homeowners and designers who want a small tree with year-round appeal. Plant it near patios, walkways, or entryways where its fragrant blooms can be enjoyed up close in early summer. Its compact size makes it ideal for urban gardens or tight spaces where larger flowering trees might overwhelm. In winter, its exfoliating bark adds unexpected charm and textural contrast to evergreen plantings or stone walls. This tree works beautifully as a specimen, an accent in mixed borders, or in pairs flanking an entrance.
How Does Shipping Work?

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
