Description

Myrica cerifera 'Fairfax' is a cultivar of the Southern Wax Myrtle, a native evergreen shrub renowned for its adaptability and resilience. This selection is characterized by its dense, upright growth habit and aromatic, glossy green foliage. The plant produces inconspicuous flowers in late winter to early spring, followed by clusters of waxy, bluish-gray berries that are a valuable food source for wildlife. 'Fairfax' is particularly noted for its tolerance to a variety of challenging conditions, including drought, salt spray, and poor soils, making it an excellent choice for coastal and urban landscapes.
