Estate Entry Statement

A layered, grand entrance statement combining Little Gem Magnolia, Manzanillo Olive Tree, and Italian Cypress. Fragrant blooms, Mediterranean texture, and vertical structure come together in one composition built to make a real first impression.

What Each Plant Brings to This Look

  • Little Gem Magnolia, fragrant white blooms and glossy evergreen foliage, the softening, fragrant layer of the composition.
  • Manzanillo Olive Tree, silvery, Mediterranean texture and a sculptural mature form, the textural centerpiece.
  • Italian Cypress, tall, narrow, vertical structure that frames the whole entrance and adds formal height.

A Note on Olive Fruit Drop

Manzanillo Olive is a true fruiting variety, so it will produce real olives in season, which can drop and stain hardscape below the canopy. Since this look is built around an entry, often near a walkway or driveway, this is worth planning for. Ask us about placement within the composition that keeps fruit drop away from hardscape.

Pair With Professional Installation

A three-plant composition depends on getting the layout right, correct spacing and placement so magnolia, olive, and cypress work together rather than competing for space. Our crew plans and plants the full composition for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use all three plants, or can I pick just one or two?

You can use any of these on their own or in any combination, this look is a starting composition, not a fixed package. Every plant here is also sold individually.

Will the olive tree make a mess near my entry?

Manzanillo is a true fruiting variety, so it will produce olives that can drop and stain hardscape. We can help you plan placement within the composition to keep fruit drop away from a walkway or driveway.

How much sun does this composition need?

All three plants perform best in full sun in Southern California.

How much space do I need for this look?

It depends on your entry's layout, these are all specimen-scale plants meant to be seen individually, not crowded together. Send us a few photos and we'll help you plan the spacing.

Do you deliver and plant this look, or just deliver the plants?

Both. You can order for delivery only, or add professional planting so our crew installs the full composition for you.
