Versatile Shrub or Ornamental Tree
Why Wax Myrtle Trees?
If a partition or screen is your objective, then the Wax Myrtle performs flawlessly. Its dense foliage and quick-growing nature lends itself to being an excellent choice for shrubs. Plant them in a row to define your property line, or to accent your front patio.
And the Wax Myrtle's foliage and berries are pleasingly fragrant, making it a great addition to your outdoor living space. The fruit matures in the fall and remains throughout winter, attracting a multitude of birds. Plus, Myrtle is 'green' in more ways than one, as it returns nitrogen to the soil and organically repels insects.
Please Note: Plants are shipped as either male or female, and we cannot guarantee which you will receive. Only female plants produce berries, but male plants are necessary for pollination.

Replacement Myrtle’s
Planted 15 wax Myrtle’s 3 years ago. They have done beautifully. However, I live with black bears and they are very attracted to wax Myrtle. They destroyed 3 of my trees and stunted the growth of the rest. They will be very strong as “that that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. ” Thank you FGTs for your assistance along the way.
Order came in fast and
Order came in fast and on time, the boxes were absolutely destroyed in shipping but customer service helped me get that sorted out. They look great and I'm excited to see them grow!
Wax Myrtle trees
They were in wonderful condition when delivered. I have them planted and it has been about 4 days now and they are still looking good. I am praying that I can still say that a few years from now.
Arrived dry, but has perked up!
My little tree arrived very dry, with most of the leaves falling off. I was pretty concerned, but figured I'd give it some sun and water and see what happened. It ended up losing almost every leaf it arrived with, but has sprung back to life and is now thriving. I'm actually quite surprised and pleased by how quickly it's growing. Obviously was a very healthy tree when it was sent, just got hot in shipping, I guess.
18 Trees Arrived in Perfect Condition
All of my plants arrived in perfect condition. They were not dried out and packed well.
