On April 22, 2010 we were thrilled to be part of a memorial for our Ginny Colvin. The service was beautiful and we were given a tree by the family in honor of Ginny.
The tree selected is a Tree Lilac Ivory Silk.
Some of us, myself included, were unsure of the tree selected for location we chose. But I personally spoke with experts in the field and want to share their opinion. Attending the memorial was Mary Wilson who is head of the MSU Master Gardener programs for all of the counties in southeast Michigan, and Terry McLean, Horticulture Educator and Master Gardener Coordinator for MSU Extension in Genesee County. Both assured me the tree will stay compact and grow in an upward form instead of spreading out and overtaking the area. They both agree it will be a lovely addition to our gardens.

Thank you Gardeners!
