Davidia involucrata var. vilmoriniana, commonly known as a hankerchief tree, is a remarkable and rare tree prized for its unique beauty and show-stopping flowers. This variety is known for its striking white bracts that appear in late spring and resemble fluttering dove wings, giving it a truly magical look. The 'Vilmoriniana' variety is noted for its larger size compared to other cultivars, growing up to 40 feet tall, making it ideal for larger gardens or landscapes where it can truly make a statement. This tree is relatively hardy and thrives in well-drained soil and full to partial sun, making it low-maintenance once established. Its resilience and easy care make it suitable for gardeners seeking both beauty and practicality. Beyond its remarkable blooms, this tree offers year-round appeal with its lush foliage in spring and summer, followed by attractive seed pods in autumn.

If you're looking for a dramatic, high-impact tree that brings a rare beauty and elegance to your garden, Davidia involucrata var. vilmoriniana is the perfect choice. Its breathtaking blooms, impressive size, and low-maintenance nature make it a standout addition to any landscape. Height: 12m (39'). Spread: 8m (26'). 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.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
