The Chinese lilac gets 8-12 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide with a rose-purple flower. The Common lilac is a bit taller at 12-16 feet and 8-12 feet wide.

We asked our viewers where they go in New Hampshire when they want to find the best Chinese food. See what they picked.

One of my favourite lilacs is the Chinese Lilac, which grows on its' own root and never produces a ‘sucker' – unlike the Common Lilac which suckers with abandon!!
