  Davidia involucrata - PlantExplorers.com™
This is a large tree, and should be planted where it has room to grow.
Davidia appreciates a little shelter in its formative years, but will eventually reach a size where few other trees are large enough to shade it.
Although tolerant of some pruning, Davidia can not be successfully maintained at a reduced size.

  Dove tree - InformationBlast
The Dove tree, Davidia involucrata, is a medium-sized deciduous tree, usually placed in the Tupelo Family (Nyssaceae), but sometimes included (with the tupelos) in the Dogwood Family (Cornaceae), and yet by others given family status of its own: the Family Davidiaceae.
It is a moderately fast-growing tree up to about 20-25 m tall, with alternate cordate leaves resembling those of a linden in appearance, except symmetrical, not with the lop-sided base typical of linden leaves; the leaves are mostly 10-20 cm long and 7-15 cm wide.
The genus Davidia is named after Father Armand David (1826-1900), ("Père David"), a French Franciscan missionary and keen naturalist in China, who is also commemorated in the Chinese white pine Pinus armandii and Père David's Deer.
