‘Little Gem’ is a small, beautiful evergreen tree with dark, glossy green leaves with a velvety brown underside. It produces large white fragrant flowers, usually in summer/autumn but will flower throughout the year.
It makes a fantastic hedge or screen, or a lovely specimen tree.
‘Little Gem’ will grow to 4 – 5 metres tall and 2 – 2.5 metres wide in the first 10 years and can potentially grow bigger. The great thing about this magnolia is its ability to respond to pruning if required.
It likes full sun and well drained soil. It will take dry periods if mulched well, but be sure not to over water. It is frost hardy and will stand up to our summers.
