      The handkerchief tree (Davidia involucrata), also known as the dove tree, is a fascinating deciduous tree originally from China. It belongs to the tupelo family (Nyssaceae) and is the only species of the monotypic genus Davidia.

      Here are some interesting facts about the handkerchief tree:

      Appearance: The tree can reach heights of over 20 meters in China, while in Central Europe it grows to around 6 to 12 meters, depending on the location. The leaves resemble those of linden trees and have a bright golden yellow to orange autumn color.

      Flowers: The flowering period is from April to June. The striking, white bracts that surround the spherical inflorescences are reminiscent of handkerchiefs or white doves, which gives the tree its name.

      Use: The handkerchief tree is often planted as an ornamental tree in parks and gardens, as its unusual flowers amaze many garden visitors.

      The handkerchief tree is a remarkable tree not only for its beauty but also for its historical and cultural significance.
