Magnolia grandiflora Super Gem

Magnolia 'Super Gem' is a compact and evergreen magnolia variety, celebrated for its large, glossy leaves and creamy white, fragrant flowers that bloom from late winter through spring. This evergreen, shrub, small tree variety grows to a mature size of about 3-4 meters in height and 2-3 meters in width, making it ideal for small gardens and spaces where a full-sized magnolia would be too large.

In Melbourne and Sydney, Magnolia 'Super Gem' thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Plant it in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. The tree benefits from shelter against harsh winds and protection from the hottest afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves. Regular watering, particularly during dry spells, is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the root system. Annual pruning is not necessary but can be done to maintain shape and remove any damaged or diseased branches. 'Super Gem' is a resilient choice for urban gardens, offering year-round beauty with its striking foliage and elegant blooms.
