Myrica pensylvanica is our native 'Bayberry', or more properly, the 'Northern Bayberry'. This quietly ornamental shrub is covered by aromatic, leathery olive green deciduous, to semi-evergreen foliage. Female plants will bear persistent clusters of small bluish-grey fruit, coated with wax- the original source of fragrance for "Bayberry Candles"
