Myrica pensylvanica 'Bogozam' - Bobee™ Bayberry

Bobee Bayberry is a dense-branching native semi-evergreen shrub with a global habit and larger, slightly glossed leathery foliage that is aromatic. If pollinated,the inconspicuous flowers give way to tiny clusters of aromatic waxy grey berries that persist into winter.  Grows best in moist acidic soils.  Can be considered a fire hazard in some areas, as the aromatic compounds of the foliage and stems are flammable.
