Magnolia Little Gem
Magnolia Little Gem is a lovely evergreen tree with beautiful white saucer shaped flowers from an early age. Leaves are a classic glossy deep green color with a furry brown underside. A nice compact tree with dense foliage, it is a consistently solid performer in the landscape garden.
Performs best in part shade, tolerates polluted city atmospheres. Magnolias require organic, well-drained soils with summer irrigation for success. Reaches 6mt at maturity. Although can be successfully pruned and grown as low as 1.5mt. If a smaller overall height is preferred, make sure to trim annually as the plant is growing. Don't wait for it to reach desired height and then commence pruning, as this will leave the plant woody.
Superb screening small tree, particularly in slightly shaded, sheltered area, although with moderate and consistent watering can be planted in full sun. Don't hesitate to use our free garden design service if you have any queries.
