Dove Tree (Davidia involucrata 'Sonoma')

Dove Tree or Handkerchief tree is at its most spectacular in the late spring when the white bracts attending the seeds hang on the tree–like handkerchiefs. The tree will easily reach 35′. The problem with the Dove Tree is that until a few years ago, there were no cultivars available and the seedling took 20 years to flower. Now with Sonoma, we have a Dove Tree that will flower in the second year. zone 6
