BAYSIDE BONITO™
Southern Wax Myrtle
Myrica cerifera
'JBG 1000'
PP#36,234
- Dense habit
- Native evergreen
- Non-fruit bearing
- Description
A dense, native evergreen that is perfect for warm climate gardens and landscapes. Bayside Bonito™ Southern wax myrtle's healthy evergreen foliage brings a fresh feel to the landscape year-round, and because it’s a male selection, it bears no fruit. Its dense, versatile habit makes it a perfect option for screens, hedges, shrub borders, erosion control along stream beds, and wetland gardens. Thanks to its salt tolerance, it is also a great choice for seaside plantings. This rugged native Myrica cerifera comes to us from plantsman Jim Berry of Grand Saline, Texas.
