Myrica cerifera is a fast-growing, broadleaf evergreen shrub or small tree known for its aromatic, olive-green foliage and waxy, blue-gray berries. It typically reaches 10 to 20 feet in height with a rounded, multi-stemmed habit. Highly adaptable, it thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates salt spray, drought, and wet soils. It is widely used for privacy hedges, erosion control, and attracting wildlife, particularly birds that feed on its nutrient-rich winter fruit.
