Pacific Wax Myrtle, also called California Bayberry, is most likely found in dry and open meadows. A shrub and a member of the Myricaceae Family. Pacific Wax Myrtle, an evergreen shrub (to a small tree), was found only from California to SW Washington. It is
now slowly moving north along the coast as the climate warms (Bonhoeffer Gardens grows coastal plants because we are, in fact, “coastal” because of the Strait of Juan de Fuca). Mature specimens are found by Kiosks 12 and 13. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to Cascadia.
