Magnolia 'Greenback' is a unique and lesser-known variety of Magnolia that brings a lush, evergreen presence to the landscape. This variety stands out for its robust, green foliage and its ability to provide a dense screen, thanks to its compact growth habit.
Common Name: Greenback MagnoliaMature Height (meters): Typically 4-6 meters, but can reach up to 7-8 meters in optimal conditions.
Mature Width (meters): 2-3 meters
Spacing: Plant 3-4 meters apart to allow for full growth and air circulation.
Foliage: The Greenback Magnolia features dense, rich green leaves with a characteristic velvety texture and a glossy finish. The leaves often have a lighter green underside, providing a vibrant contrast.
Flowering Period: While the Greenback is primarily grown for its foliage, it does produce the classic Magnolia flowers—large, white, and fragrant, though they may appear less frequently than on other Magnolia varieties.
Form/Habit: Boasting an upright and pyramidal growth habit, the Greenback Magnolia is ideal for creating vertical interest and can be trained into a stunning, formal shape.
Uses: Its dense foliage makes it perfect for privacy screens or windbreaks. It is also a good choice for a specimen tree in residential gardens or as an accent in larger landscape designs.
Evergreen/Deciduous: Evergreen
Tolerates: It tolerates a variety of soils but prefers moist, well-drained conditions. It is also somewhat resistant to pollution, making it a good choice for urban environments.
Drought Hardy: Once established, it can withstand periods of drought with minimal impact.
Sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Maintenance: Low; requires minimal pruning to maintain its natural form or desired shape.
Water Requirement: Moderate; requires regular watering, especially during dry spells and in the first few years after planting.
