Little Gem Southern Magnolia is the perfect solution for bringing the classic beauty of the Southern Magnolia into smaller spaces. This compact, columnar cultivar produces the same magnificent fragrant flowers and glossy two-toned leaves as its giant parent, but on a slow-growing, densely foliaged tree that fits beautifully in residential gardens, entryways, or as a tall screening hedge.

• Offers all the classic appeal—large, fragrant white blooms and glossy green leaves with cinnamon-brown undersides—on a perfectly scaled, columnar tree.

• Grows in a dense, narrow, upright column, typically reaching only 20-25 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide, making it ideal for tight spaces, patio containers, or planting in a row for screening.

• Blooms at a very young age and flowers over an exceptionally long period, often from late spring through summer and sporadically into fall.

• Requires the same acidic soil preferences and deep watering as the standard variety but is vastly more versatile due to its size.

• An exceptional choice for creating a formal evergreen accent, privacy screen, or espalier against a wall.
