Hello every body! I found what looks to be Bayberry bushes in the back field, They are so pretty so I transplanted them into my gardens, Do you all think they will be ok? I guess its a little late to ask now that I already done it, But they were so pretty and reddish purple I wanted to have them were I could see them. I don't know how long the colors last But I had to have them. Do you think they will grow ok now that I have done this, Thank you all Margie
I have several Bayberry bushes, two dwarf bushes and all the others. All the others are from the two dwarfs and are not true, they grow taller than their parent. I transplant them spring or summer they don't seem to mind. But then again, I didn't care as there are more from seed. It would seem that it is early enough that there should not be a problem. Jerry
He said, massaging his Latin lobe, Myrica pennsylvanica, I think. Tough little bush likes soil a little on the acid side & full sun. I'm unsure (and never tried it) if its the leaves or berry that were boiled to render out perfumed wax. Not particularly adaptable to bonsai or pot culture. It can be potted in deepers pots for nursery sales, one to two years. After which it declines. Kin to sweetfern. I might look your up in a photo guide.
