Why Plant Alta™ Southern Magnolia?
Alta™ Southern Magnolia is the answer to a common design challenge: how to enjoy the stately beauty of a Southern Magnolia in a tighter space. With its narrow, upright habit and dense branching, Alta™ delivers all the best qualities of the species in a more space-conscious package. The iconic blooms are large, fragrant, and luminous, appearing in early summer and sometimes again in late summer. The foliage stays vibrant all year, offering privacy and structure even in winter. Alta™ is a modern magnolia with old-world charm, perfectly suited for gardens that value grace, fragrance, and function.
How to use Alta™ Southern Magnolia in the landscape?
Alta™ Southern Magnolia fits beautifully into both traditional and modern landscapes. Use it as a vertical feature at an entryway, along a fence line, or to frame a patio. Its evergreen nature makes it a strong year-round presence in mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as a tall privacy screen. Plant in full sun for the most abundant flowering and healthiest growth.How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
