11. Japanese Tree Lilac 

If you’re crazy about lilac and its incredible subtle perfume, you should check out this small tree called the Japanese Tree Lilac. This species has elegant and soft creamy-white flowers during the early days of summer.

Autumn is not exactly the time to shine for this plant, but its dazzling copper-color bark is completely marvelous during winter. This tree can grow up to 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide, so it will easily turn your yard into a magnificent garden.

    I have crepe myrtles – but his year (first time in about 40 years) the bark scale invaded our neighborhood – any recommendations for what to do – sprayed with Neem oil – and cut severely infected branches.

    I like Rose of Sharon aka Althea. It comes in several colors—white, purple and pink are the colors I’m familiar with. It can be trimmed to look more tree-like or allowed to grow as a bush. My mother grew them when I was young.

    Had a Japanese Maple in Woodland Hills, CA. It was supposed to be a miniature but it got reallly big. It was a beauty when the seasons changed. I do miss it.
