Magnolia grandiflora (Espalier) - Southern Magnolia

Market price from $234.99 to $349.99

Magnolia grandiflora (Espalier) is an elegant work of natural art that effortlessly transforms any ordinary landscape into a visually captivating garden oasis. Revered as the Southern Magnolia, this tree is celebrated for its artful Espalier form, trained to grow flat against supports, offering both an architectural statement and economical use of space. The tree's expansive, glossy evergreen leaves provide a dramatic backdrop to the verdant surrounds, while their lustrous sheen radiates under sun-drenched spots. This visual delight is further enhanced by the generous, fragrant white blooms that grace the tree during late spring and sporadically into summer and autumn. Able to reach a resplendent height of 20-30 feet, the Southern Magnolia demonstrates adaptability by thriving in a range of soil conditions, while preferring the nourishment of well-drained environments. As seasons shift, this tree subtly transforms, offering year-round interest with its summer blossom giving way to autumnal cone-like fruits, as well as the intriguing peeling grey bark revealing a coppery hue beneath. Grown with love and patience, this tree encapsulates the poetry of growth in nature, offering beauty, shade and a unique injection of grandeur to any garden.
