How to Grow
Reviews
No need to wait two decades to see this magnificent Handkerchief Tree coming into flower! Davidia involucrata 'Sonoma' is a very special and rare form of this iconic tree which produces very large bracts on plants only 2-3 years old. It will slowly grow into a medium-sized, conical tree or multi-stemmed bush with orange-brown peeling bark and large, heart-shaped green leaves that often turn yellow in autumn. The pendulous, white bracts with a ball of flowers at their centre appear in May and are one of the most impressive spectacles of the plant world! Height: 15m (49ft). Spread: 10m (33ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Davidia involcrata in rich fertile, moist, well drained soil. Choose a position in full sun or semi shade with shelter from strong winds. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility.
More Info In the first few years after planting, water Handkerchief Trees regularly, particularly during dry periods until they are fully established. Davidia trees will naturally form a handsome conical shaped tree provided that a strong central leader is maintained during its formative years. No pruning is required except to remove any damaged or poorly placed branches in winter if necessary.
