Davidia: A Unique Beauty with Distinctive Flowers.

The Davidia tree, often called the dove tree or handkerchief tree, is a real showstopper and a wonderful addition to any garden. Named for its remarkable, fluttering white bracts that resemble doves or delicate handkerchiefs hanging from the branches, this tree creates an unforgettable display in late spring. The bracts sway gently in the breeze, contrasting beautifully against the lush green leaves and bringing a sense of movement and elegance. It’s the kind of tree that stops you in your tracks, adding an element of surprise and charm that’s hard to replicate with any other plant.

Hardy and Perfect for Small to Medium Gardens.

Though it may look exotic, Davidia is remarkably hardy and well-suited to our British climate. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered spot with dappled sunlight or light shade, making it versatile for gardens of various sizes. Davidia trees have a graceful, upright form that doesn’t become too large, so they work well in small to medium-sized gardens where space is precious. As it matures, the tree develops a lovely, rounded shape, and its dark green leaves provide a lovely backdrop for other plants through the summer months.

Wildlife Appeal & Seasonal Interest.

Davidia trees offer more than just spring beauty. In autumn, the leaves take on shades of soft yellow, adding another layer of seasonal interest to the garden. The small, rounded fruits that follow the flowers attract birds, making it a friend to wildlife as well. Even in winter, the tree’s attractive bark and elegant branching structure add form and character to the landscape. For gardeners who love plants that provide year-round appeal, Davidia is a superb choice—it’s a true conversation piece that brings beauty, wildlife, and seasonal charm to any garden.
