Gee, you didn't look like the person I remember from RPHS (or any high school student) - so glamorous, beautiful, and grown up. And, of course, so well spoken (did I need a hyphen there? - glad I'm not an editor). Congratulations on your success!!

They're called Syringa reticulata, or Japanese Tree Lilac, which grow to about 20-30' and have white panicles of flowers. They don't smell as good as regular lilac bushes though. I planted about seven lilac trees when I was horticulturing.Melinda R.
