Need Help with Magnolia ID

Posted by ritmatt 7 (My Page) on

I recently bought a house with several 12-15' tall magnolias in the yard. The previous owner left a professional landscape plan that included a number of 'Little Gem' and 'Bracken's Brown' magnolias, however, the trees aren't planted in the same locations specified by the plan. I'd like to figure out if the trees I have are (hopefully) the 'Little Gem' variety or the much larger 'Bracken's Brown'. Is there any way to tell the difference now, while the trees are still small enough to be easily removed, if necessary?

New growth appears too vigorous to be Little Gem IMO

Wrong leaves for 'Little Gem', as I remember it 'Bracken's' does look more or less like picture. But it could be a third kind that was substituted due to the other two not being found. Check by looking at pictures and descriptions.
