I am doing my own landscaping for my new house in the front bed, and am considering planting a Little Gem Magnolia as the focal point ornamental tree. Can someone tell me if this tree is hardy and easy to grow, and how tall should it get? I live in zone 8 and it will have full morning and mid day sun. Thanks for your help!
here is info from Arkansas on the Little Gem http://www.uafortsmith.edu/Arboretum/SouthernMagnolia-LittleGem
