Thế rồi sáng hôm sau, trên ngôi mộ của đôi trai gái mọc lêm một cái cây nhỏ, trên cây mọc đầy những bông hoa nhỏ màu hồng nhạt. Hoá ra là xác của Đào Tử mọc thành cái cây .Dân làng vì để tưởng nhớ tới Đào Tử chàng trai dũng cảm đã lấy tên chàng đặt cho cái cây ấy. Còn về Tiểu Mỹ,nàng đã hoá thành nhũng bông hoa màu hồng ấy.

Hè năm đó, trên cái cây ấy kết đày những quả có có hình trái tim gắn liền với nhau.Những người biết câu chuyện này thường sợ cây Đào đau cho nên họ đợi cho quả Đào có màu đỏ và trở nên mềm thì mới ăn.
