Wax Myrtle "Morella cerifera"

Wax Myrtle (Morella cerifera) is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to North America, known for its aromatic foliage and waxy gray berries. It typically grows 6-20 feet tall and thrives in a variety of soil types, including sandy and acidic soils. Wax myrtle prefers full sun to partial shade and is drought-tolerant once established. The plant produces small, inconspicuous flowers in spring that give way to clusters of waxy blue-gray berries in fall, which are attractive to wildlife. Valued for its ornamental foliage, fragrance, and ecological benefits, wax myrtle is commonly used in landscapes, hedges, and for erosion control.
