  • Elegant, narrow columnar form that stays upright and tight without routine pruning.
  • Lustrous, dark‑green leaves with rich, rusty undersides for year‑round evergreen impact.
  • Showy, white, cup‑shaped, fragrant flowers in summer add classic Southern charm.
  • Compact footprint (great for small spaces); very slow to ~20 ft. tall × ~9 ft. wide in 10 years.

Alta Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora ‘TMGH’) delivers the beloved blooms and glossy foliage of Southern magnolia on a naturally slender, columnar framework—perfect for urban and suburban sites where space is at a premium. Its upright habit needs little shaping, while summer flowers perfume the garden and the evergreen canopy provides four‑season structure. Plant in full sun with well‑drained soil; once established, it’s an easy‑care, water‑wise focal point or screen that elevates entries, courtyards, and property lines with refined, architectural greenery.


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.

Flowers

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.

Care Instructions

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first season, then reduce frequency as roots establish. Feed with a general‑purpose fertilizer in early spring. Minimal pruning needed—shape only if required after bloom.
