Magnolia trees are a group of plants that originate from the southern USA. There are many varieties, most common in Australia is Grandiflora, but new varieties are becoming available all the time. One of the most recent is a dwarf variety called "Little Gem" which generally will only grow to 4m. It is used in contemporary and cottage gardens for it's neat, compact form and evergreen foliage.(can be semi deciduous in some cooler areas) The flowers are large and white and have a jasmine type fragrance. Magnolia's require an organically rich soil with good drainage. They are also long lived and can make a good tall hedge or screen plant. When grown in the right climate and soil, they are an excellent plant for the home garden. NSW,QLD,NT,VIC,SA.WA
