*Wax myrtle (Southern bayberry) (Myrica cerifera)
UsageWax myrtle can be used to create wildlife-friendly screens
and hedges that provide food and shelter that you'll enjoy
as much as the local critters. This plant can be pruned and
even sheared to encourage dense foliage and to maintain
formal shapes. Untrimmed the shrubs have interesting
open natural form that allows for enjoyment of the attractive
irregular shapes of multiple trunks (prune away the
numerous suckers that are produced to keep your wax
myrtle from forming a thicket).
Create spectacular specimens by removing lower limbs
and training into bonsai-like shapes.
Wax myrtle is the perfect plant for stream banks and
lakesides that are prone to intermittent flooding and
drought due to fluctuation of water levels.
Growth Rate: Wax myrtle grows very fast, sometimes as
much as 5 feet in height and width in a single growing
season.
Once established tolerates poor drainage and drought.
Height: 15’ to 20’
Width: 10’ to 16’
