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.

18 Trees Arrived in Perfect Condition
All of my plants arrived in perfect condition. They were not dried out and packed well.
Wax Myrtle Trees - 3 Gallon
Received 16 Wax Myrtle Trees today. They're 3 Gallon with the smallest being about 12" and the biggest being about 18". I got them to plant as a hedge in front of my house and will space them 5' apart. While all the plants seem to have arrived healthy minus a couple broken branches, FedEx did an atrocious job of keeping the boxes "safe" from damage. I really thought the plants were going to be crushed because that's how the boxes came. One box was completely crushed in 1/2 but because there were 2 plants in each box, facing each other, I'm amazed they made the trip. I have bought from this company multiple times and customer service is AWESOME! Even if my plants came ruined, I know Fast Growing Trees would make it right. Thank you!

Wax Myrtles
We just received and planted 2 Wax Myrtle’s (along with 8 Emerald Green Arborvitae’s) They were shipped quickly and arrived in great shape! We un-boxed them right away and planted them the next day. So far they are going well we are looking forward to watching them grow along with the Emerald Greens into a nice privacy fence!
