 The Wax Myrtle is native to the southeastern United States which stretches from North Carolina to Texas. The Wax Myrtle can be used as a large evergreen shrub for screening or a small ornamental tree when pruned up. The Wax Myrtle has simple alternate leaves with an elliptic shape that are two to four inches long. Wax Myrtle leaves have a glossy dark green appearance with serrated edges towards the tip of the leaf. The Wax Myrtle has a nice fragrance from the glands that exist on both sides of the leaves. The Wax Myrtle has smooth grayish-green bark which is soft and fine grained. In early spring the Wax Myrtle produces inconspicuous yellow-white flowers and towards late summer the Wax Myrtle produces bluish-white berries that appear in clusters along the stem.
