Description:

The Little Gem Magnolia is a slow-growing hybrid Magnolia Grandiflora that is sometimes called a "dwarf". It will get tall (up to 40', usually less), but not nearly as tall as the Grandiflora (which can get over 80' tall), and it grows very slowly. It may grow to be 8 - 10' wide. It has blooms on it when it is very young, as opposed to the original Magnolia Grandiflora growing in the wilds which sometimes takes 15-20 years to bloom.
