I think I may be after the impossible. I need some Japanese Lilac. Even a small amount for a memory box. I don't need enough for a whole box, just enough for an accent.

A friend of mine planted a Japanese Lilac in memory of a child lost at birth. I wanted to build a memory box and incorporate even a smidgen of the wood.

If any one could help me out, I would sincerely appreciate it. I'd be willing to trade other wood or buy it outright. ANY small amount would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

How about the freind's lilac bush they usually have lots of shoots that can be harvested.

Scot:

Lilacs symbolize "love".....now I know why the parents planted that tree/bush. Here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringa Another link: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Lilac

I'm still looking for a source for you.

I do have a lilac bush in my yard and you're welcome to a branch, but they're not very large. Also, I'm not sure if it's "Japanese" lilac or not.
