Multnomah County Oregon

Expert Response

Thank you for your question.  Various sources indicate that, although members of the Magnolia grandiflora species can reach 60-80 feet (https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/plants/magnolia-grandiflora), the Magnolia grandiflora "Southern Charm" hybrid (https://jcra.ncsu.edu/horticulture/our-plants/results-by-name-serial-number.php?serial=107877) reaches only 20 feet.  So, if you are looking for a compact variety, be sure you obtain this distinct hybrid.  Good luck!
