Syringa reticulata subsp. pekinensis ‘Beijing Gold’ (Pekin Lilac) is a very floriferous deciduous tree of graceful, upright habit with multiple seasons of interest. In early summer, a profusion of fragrant heads of tiny primrose-yellow flowers cover the tree in wonderful clusters. The blossoms give way to grass green fruits that turn a nice tan color and persist well into the winter months. The erect, fine branches are clothed in deep green, semi-glossy leaves that remain attractive in summer and turn eye-catching golden-yellow in fall. As the tree ages, its most terrific feature is its pretty cinnamon-colored exfoliating bark, which is amazingly attractive against winter now. Tolerant of drought, extreme cold, and deicing salts, this is a strikingly ornamental tree for the landscape.
