Myrica pensylvanica
This deciduous shrub, reaching 3 to 6 feet, is prized for its aromatic foliage and waxy berries. The gray-green leaves emit a pleasant fragrance, and in late summer to fall, small grayish berries with a waxy coating appear, providing winter interest and attracting birds. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, Northern Bayberry is a low-maintenance choice, especially suitable for coastal gardens.
