Northern Bayberry 10 Gallon

Myrica pensylvanica

This is an excellent low maintenance, semi-evergreen shrub with dark green, glossy, leathery, aromatic foliage covering an upright rounded habit that tolerates salt spray, wet and drought. The female plants produce silver to navy blue fruit that attracts birds and provides winter interest. Use in shrub borders, woodland settings, and as hedges. Water well after planting; maintain 1? of water once a week the first year. Prune in late winter as needed to control size, and remove stray shoots or damaged limbs anytime. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer and fall with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2? to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
