myrica pensylvanica

Northern bayberry are native to the eastern US. They are dioecious meaning that only male and female flowers appear on each plant – you would have to have a male and female plant for pollination. They are not fussy plants and will grow in dry poor soil conditions. They spread by root suckers creating colonies and control will be necessary.
