Classic Southern beauty with a narrow form and year-round elegance. Alta™ brings evergreen charm to spaces big and small
FEATURES:
- Upright, columnar Southern Magnolia perfect for narrow spaces and urban gardens
- Large, creamy white flowers bloom in early summer with a rich lemony fragrance
- Evergreen leaves are glossy green above and velvety brown beneath for a two-tone effect
- Naturally compact and dense, ideal for privacy or vertical accents
- Performs well in warm climates and handles occasional cold snaps with grace
- Low-maintenance and slow-growing, with a refined look for formal and informal settings

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Use Alta™ in place of columnar evergreens for a softer, flowering alternative. It pairs especially well with flowering shrubs like hydrangeas and perennials that appreciate filtered light. Space multiple trees evenly to form a living wall or use a single tree to create a focal point near a porch or seating area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alta™ typically blooms in late spring to early summer with large, creamy white flowers. In warm climates, it may rebloom lightly later in the season.
Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first few seasons to help it establish. Once established, it is low maintenance and tolerant of moderate drought.
Alta™ requires little pruning. You may remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter. Avoid heavy pruning, as the tree’s natural shape is one of its best features.
