Hankerchief Tree Supply & Installation

The Hankerchief tree is an unusual tree, such named because it produces purple-brown flowers surrounded by hanging creamy-white bracts in May that resemble white tissues.

The leaves are fresh green and heart shaped, similar to those of the lime. They have no colour change in autumn, except for browning before falling.

The bark of the Hankerchief tree is smooth olive brown in colour.

Fruits appear on long stems and look like green walnuts.
