Magnolia grandiflora ‘TMGH’ P.P.#11,
Description
Native evergreen tree - own root. While most Southern Magnolias have a broad spreading, pyramidal shape, Alta® offers a more contained, denser form which can be attributed to its tight branching pattern. The small foliage brings a finer, more formal texture to the landscape, changing the perception of a traditional Southern Magnolia. “The gaps in Southern Magnolia aesthetics and culture have been filled by Alta®.” – Dr. Michael Dirr
