Sandbar Willow vs Northern BayberrySalix exigua Myrica pensylvanica ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT 
Sandbar Willow is a deciduous species native to much of North America. This mid-sized, fast-growing shrub can be found in very wet areas, making it an ideal plan to use in a wet area with erosion risk.
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. SANDBAR WILLOW QUICK FACTSNORTHERN BAYBERRY QUICK FACTS
