Wax Myrtle
A large evergreen shrub or small tree native to the southeastern United States. It
produces grayish white fruit coated with a wax used in candlemaking. The berries ripen in
early fall and cling most of the winter. The aromatic dark green leaves, 3-5" long,
cling until late fall. Wax Myrtles grow in Zones 7-10. They do best in full sun in sandy,
acid (pH 4.5-5.5) well drained soil. Only female plants bear berries, both sexes must be
present (1 male to 6-10 females) for fruit production. There is no difference in
appearance between the sexes except when berries are present.
