7g Adcock's Dwarf Wax Myrtle
Myrica cerifera

Grows 5' - 8' ht. & sp. 

Discovered on the Adcock's Nursery property a few years ago, this is a dwarf version of the old standby Wax Myrtle - a medium-growing, upright, broadleaf evergreen shrub - just a little smaller.  Our dwarf version still has glossy olive-green leaves which release a citrus smell when crushed. Produces small gray wax-covered fruit. Wax myrtle is a tough and easy-to-grow plant that thrives in many soil conditions. This plant can be used as a screen, near the coast, or in a natural garden.
