The Little Gem Magnolia, also known as Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem,' is a popular and versatile evergreen tree. Here's everything you need to know about it:

  1. Size and Shape: The Little Gem Magnolia is a compact variety that typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet and a spread of 10 to 15 feet. It has a dense, upright, and pyramidal shape, making it suitable for smaller spaces or as a focal point in the landscape.

  2. Foliage: This magnolia variety features glossy, dark green leaves with a leathery texture. The leaves are smaller than those of the traditional Southern Magnolia, typically measuring around 5 to 7 inches long. The foliage provides year-round interest and remains on the tree throughout the year.

  3. Flowers: The Little Gem Magnolia produces beautiful, fragrant, creamy white flowers that can reach up to 6 inches in diameter. The flowers bloom from late spring to early summer and may continue sporadically throughout the year. They add a touch of elegance and fragrance to the landscape.

Hahira Nursery takes pride in growing high-quality, fresh, healthy plants and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and with little to no damage so they are ready to be planted.

Despite all of our best efforts, once the plants have left our nursery, there are many variables outside of our control that can cause plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, or grasses to not thrive as they should.  Plants are living organisms and are susceptible to a number of different environmental and care factors that are outside of our control. 

Our goal is to build strong relationships with our customers and we always want to make things right, but we cannot always guarantee what happens once the plants are outside of our nursery, how you care for the plants, if they’re in the correct growing zones, weather damage, soil conditions, insect infestations, etc.. 

If you have any questions or concerns about a purchase you’ve made, please email us at info@hahiranursery.com and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to the best of our ability. 

Please note that all living organisms are not identical and their coloring, size, and shapes may differ from what you see online in our store.  Each plant has its own characteristics that are impacted by the time of year, growth cycle, weather, and other elements which will cause them to look different than their photos.
