Northern Bayberry produces highly fragrant, dense foliage on a compact plant. Its compact size makes this shrub useful for hedges and screens. The white waxy coating on the small fruits is used for candle making. Highly Fragrant foliage can be crushed to release more scent. Evergreen in mild southern climates, semi-evergreen in the north. This American native shrub thrives in the worst alkaline sandy soils.
