Virginia Creeper vs Northern BayberryParthenocissus quinquefolia Myrica pensylvanica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Virginia Creeper is a fast-growing, climbing vine. Its root-like tendrils attach themselves to any non-smooth surface, even brick, but will also grow as a ground cover.
Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps. VIRGINIA CREEPER QUICK FACTSNORTHERN BAYBERRY QUICK FACTS
