    There is a hybrid group of magnolias which are very compact (from 8 – 15 feet in height) which Michael Dirr (the great tree authority) refers to as the Little Girl Hybrids. They have "girl" names like Betty, Susan, Ann, etc. I like Betty or Susan (which are purplish). You might like to look at these.

Welcome! I’m Margaret Roach, a leading garden writer for 25 years—at ‘Martha Stewart Living,’ ‘Newsday,’ and in three books. I host a public-radio podcast; I also lecture, plus hold tours at my 2.3-acre Hudson Valley (NY) Zone 5B garden, and always say no to chemicals and yes to great plants.
