I have a 25 foot wide driveway that I would like to plant a Magnolia on each side of. I would like to train them eventually to meet in the middle. Which Magnolia would be the best for this? A Southern Magnolia perhaps? Any advice would be appreciated... I have seen one house with this effect, not too far from me. Check out the photo:

If you use deciduous magnolias instead most rubbish will be deposited in autumn. You will also have the benefit of light coming in through the bare branches in winter.
