Monrovia has 'Allspice' on their web site so it may be possible now or later to get that one through a retailer near you. (Clifton's nursery in California is mentioned as having it but I did not see it on their web site during a quick glance today). If you check that cultivar out you may find it is as good or better for your purposes than 'Jack Fogg'. Note that many now consider Michelia to be a part of Magnolia and will be listing or discussing 'Allspice' or 'Jack Fogg' under Magnolia x foggii.
