Magnolia Grandiflora Little Gem   

The Little in Little Gem Refers to the smaller leaves and  smaller flowers rather than as it's stature as a tree. I have grown M. Little Gem in the same garden as M. St Mary and they have matched each other in growth, after 8 years both are 8m+ in height. Little Gem flowers throughout the year where St Marys has much larger flowers but only flowers intensly with huge flowers for a short period of time. Magnolias seem to be pest free, hardy and fast groing in our climate especially when given well drained soil and adequate water.

Randia fitzlani

 

Randia or Native Gardenia is a small medium tree with extra large deep green glossy leaves that has a naturally dense, conicial shape when grown in full sun. The clusters of white flowers with their light gardenia scent is an extra bonus. It is equally at home in a rainforest or formal setting and can be pruned into a good small shade tree.
