Multi-Stem Syringa (Lilac) Trees
All Syringa from trees-online are multi stem and bush like in appearance. This provides more flowers therefore more scent per tree. You can prune them to be a single stem tree if you desire but this will need to be done every year. Also by having a single stem, you are putting the only flowers available further away therefore less fragrance is available.

Grafted Syringa (Lilac) Trees
All Syringa (Lilac) trees, have been grafted to produce a better tree in terms of vigour and earlier flowering. The rootstock used is a special selection (S. tomentella) which reduces suckering to a minimum. S. vulgaris is not used as a rootstock for this reason.
