Davidia - Handkerchief (Dove) Tree
🕊 Why is Davidia called Handkerchief (Dove) Tree? This one from Germany is one of the most unusual plants you ever see!
This spectacular tree is Davidia, also called Dove Tree, Ghost Tree, Handkerchief Tree. It is growing in Germany - not so tropical, but still the most beautiful!
Handkerchief Tree earns its nickname due to the unique appearance of its flowers. The tree produces large, white bracts that hang down in a manner resembling handkerchiefs or, more poetically, like delicate lace handkerchiefs swaying in the breeze. These bracts surround the actual flowers of the tree, which are small and inconspicuous. The sight of the tree in bloom, with its "handkerchiefs" fluttering in the wind, is truly captivating and has led to the endearing nickname.
