Plant Description
Narrow, columnar selection of Southern magnolia that remains upright and dense without regular pruning. Ideal for tight side yards, between buildings, or as a vertical accent where width is limited.

Large, white, cup‑shaped, fragrant blooms in summer. Flowers are showy and can be cut for indoor display.
Foliage
Lustrous, dark‑green leaves with attractive rusty‑brown undersides provide rich texture and year‑round color.
Sun Requirements
Full sun for best flowering, density, and leaf color; tolerates light exposure in open, bright sites.
Watering Needs
Water regularly the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, water deeply when soil becomes dry.
Soil Requirements
Performs best in well‑drained soil; incorporate organic matter at planting if soil is lean. Mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Growth & Size
Very slow grower to approximately 20 ft. tall × 9 ft. wide in about 10 years; maintains a consistently slender, columnar silhouette.
Special Features
Easy‑care and water‑wise once established; evergreen; fragrant flowers; suitable for coastal exposure; deer and rabbit resistant; tolerates road salt.
Landscape Uses
Space‑saving screen or windrow along property lines; pair to flank driveways or entries; striking vertical accent against tall walls; mixes beautifully with flowering shrubs and grasses.
