Detailed Description:
Wax Myrtle is a fast-growing, tough native evergreen valued for its aromatic foliage, wildlife appeal, and versatility. Clusters of gray waxy berries form in fall and provide food for birds. While it can reach 15–20 feet tall if left untrimmed, in most landscapes it is kept at 8–10 feet for use as a hedge, privacy screen, or small ornamental tree. Naturally resistant to pests and tolerant of heat, humidity, drought, and poor soils, Wax Myrtle is one of the most reliable and low-maintenance evergreens for Gulf Coast gardens.
