| Botanical Name | Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem' |
| Description | The Little Gem Magnolia is an ideal fit for the Houston metro area, providing the iconic look of a Southern Magnolia without the massive footprint. This 30-gallon (30G) specimen is perfect for residential yards, offering a dense, upright habit and glossy green leaves with rusty-brown undersides. It is exceptionally heat-tolerant and thrives in our local clay soils. Unlike larger varieties, 'Little Gem' begins blooming while very young, producing fragrant, creamy-white flowers throughout the summer and into the fall. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 20-25' Height x 10-12' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires regular watering to establish its root system, but is quite resilient once mature. Avoid areas with poor drainage. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer for optimal blooming. |
| Pruning | Minimal; naturally grows in a tidy, pyramidal shape. Prune in late winter or after the blooming cycle if shaping is desired. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
