What kind of tree is this

[fratri]

I bought this tree about 10 years ago... It flowers white in late spring. It grew to about 14'.... Looking to buy another but just can't remember the name.

Some might be able to speculate but trying to I.D. that tree with that photo is a bit like trying to identifying a vehicle that someone says is blue. A photo of the leaf(s) would be more helpful. The bark and branches also hold clues. Trees native to Ontario are fairly easy to id but ornamental ones from garden centres are tougher for me at least.

Looks like a Lilac. ?

Ok, fair enough...

Take a branch into your good local garden centre. They should be able to identify it for you

I think you might be right.... Lilac does sound familiar but just not sure

[jaycee]

looks like a " tree form Persian lilac ".

Agreed that it looks like a lilac, but don't they flower in August? The scent is fairly distinct as well.

Do the flowers look like a ice cream cone


Lilac

Thanks for the help... I think it is a common white lilac tree. I will get the nursery to confirm.
