Bayberry
• Bayberry, also known as wax myrtle, waxberry, or candelberry, is both a shrub and a tree. All members of the bayberry family are classified botanically as Myricaceae, and many varieties are found all over the world map.
• Myrica pensylvanica is a mainly deciduous shrub. It may hang on to some of its leaves during the winter, but in that case they will probably look ratty.
• While bayberry shrubs are delightful during the summer and autumn, they may be most valued for the novelty their gray berries afford to the winter.
