Description

Myrica cerifera 'Tom's Dwarf' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, aromatic foliage and adaptability in southern landscapes. This male cultivar of the native wax myrtle grows to approximately 3–4 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, making it ideal for low hedges, screens, or foundation plantings. Its olive-green leaves release a pleasant fragrance when crushed, and the plant exhibits resistance to leaf spot diseases . Thriving in USDA Zones 7–9, 'Tom's Dwarf' performs well in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soil conditions, including moist, well-drained soils. While it does not produce berries due to its male gender, it can serve as a pollinator for female cultivars like 'Don's Dwarf'

Aromatic Foliage: Olive-green leaves emit a pleasant fragrance when crushed, adding sensory appeal to gardens.
