20–40' tall and wide, the Dove Tree blooms from April to May with a breathtaking inflorescence composed of a small reddish button, the flower, and long pure white bracts. Among its other appellations are Laundry Tree, Ghost Tree, Handkerchief Tree, depending upon the person or the locale. Its namesake is Abbe Armand David, a Frenchman in southwestern China in the last part of the 19th c., who first collected this spectacular tree. The fall color can be variable from colorful oranges and reds to softer pastels. Moist, rich soil will remind it of home.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
