MYRICA pensylvanica |
||||
|
Description: A tough and attractive native shrub whose waxy silver-gray fruits used to be used for candle wax back before cheaper imitations. For winter interest, on female plants, the small-blueberry size fruits cluster densely along the stems. Foliage and fruits are pleasantly aromatic. The bushy plants spread slowly by suckering and grow 4-8 feet tall. Grows best in full sun with good drainage, common along the seashore, where it is salt tolerant. | ||||
