One of the most durable and resistant native shrubs to the Northeast, Myrica pennsylvanica can be found growing in thickets of dense forest or on the blustery dunes of the Atlantic Ocean. Northern Bayberry can handle salt and wind as well as any woody shrub that is hardy to the Northeast. It can be found growing indigenously from Newfoundland to North Carolina. 

Bayberry's semi-evergreen, glossy leaves offer an extremely pleasant fragrance when crushed or handled. Female plants often produce attractive blue fruit on their stems. Mostly disease and pest free, Northern Bayberry is also a pollinator and food source for native flora and fauna. Myrica pennsylvanica is an excellent choice for tough to grow places.

We ship two ways. One is "Local Delivery". That means one, or more, of our crew members personally delivers your order in a Bay Gardens truck or van to your home. This option is only available in certain zip codes throughout NY, NJ & CT.

The other method is "Common Carrier Shipping". Only certain plants can be sent this way. Usually ones that are under 4 feet tall. When we ship this way, one of our crew members boxes up your order and then sends it to your home via UPS or FedEx.

For more information on our shipping methods, browse our delivery pages in the "ABOUT" tab above.

Plants with listed heights (i.e. 4-5 ft) are measured from the top of the root ball to the top of the plant. Basically, what will be exposed out of the ground after planting. We do not count the root ball or container in the tree size.

Many of our plants come in the plastic Nursery Containers in which they are grown. These containers come in various sizes. Typically, the larger the container, the more mature and larger the plant is. The containers are measured by the "Gallon". More often than not, the larger the gallon size, the larger the plant.
