Bayberry (Myrica Cerifera) is an evergreen small tree or large shrub that may grow 20 to 25 feet tall. The plant is native to North and Central America and the Caribbean. The glandular leaves are long, have a leathery texture and serrated edges. The bark is thin, smooth, and gray-brown, almost white. Some populations are dioecious and some are monoecious, which means that in some cases only the females flowers produce fruit.
