  Dove tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dove tree (Davidia involucrata) is a medium-sized deciduous tree, usually placed in the Tupelo family (Nyssaceae), but is sometimes included (with the tupelos) in the Dogwood family (Cornaceae), and yet by others given family status of its own: family Davidiaceae.
The tree is native to central China, from Hubei to southern Gansu, south to Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan.
It is a moderately fast-growing tree, growing to about 20-25 m in height, with alternate cordate leaves resembling those of a linden in appearance, except that they are symmetrical, and lacking the lop-sided base typical of linden leaves; the leaves are mostly 10-20 cm long and 7-15 cm wide and are ovate to heart-shaped.

 Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping and agriculture, supplying orchard crops (such as apples).
The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form.
Modern trends are to cite the tree's diameter rather than the circumference; this is obtained by dividing the measured circumference by π; it assumes the trunk is circular in cross-section (an oval or irregular cross-section would result in a mean diameter slightly greater than the assumed circle).
