Davidia involucrate is a medium-sized, deciduous tree with broad, pyramidal habit, exfoliating, cinnamon bark, and ovate, red-stalked, heart-shaped, bright green leaves. Small, reddish-purple flower heads have long, oval creamy-white bracts that flutter in the breeze and resemble white doves sitting on a branch or dangling white handkerchiefs. Hence the common name. It flowers in April and May and flowers are followed by greenish-brown fruits. Davidia involucrate thrives in organically rich, moist, but well-drained soils, in full sun or partial shade. It is virtually, pest-free and disease-free. Very resilient and low maintenance. It doesn’t require routine pruning. Must be protected from hard winds. It may take ten years after planting for tree to flower. Davidia involucrate is a stunning specimen landscape tree and a great shade tree, perfect for cottage, informal, and city gardens. It looks great in shrub borders or on patios planted in containers.
