Northern Bayberry (Bareroot)

Northern bayberry is a native shrub suited to hedgerows, riparian and wetland plantings, and wildlife forage. Offered as bareroot stock for late fall and early spring dormant planting. Planting bareroot is a cost-effective way to establish vigorous, healthy trees and shrubs, especially for larger plantings. Morella pensylvanica grows 3–12 ft tall and up to 10 ft wide, with flowers appearing in August and September. Its berries persist into winter and are eaten by birds. Northern bayberry is also a larval host to the Columbia silkmoth and many other caterpillars. Northern bayberry grows in part sun and moist soil. It tolerates well-drained, rich, mucky, acidic, clay, loam, and sandy soils. It also tolerates salt spray and somewhat salty soils, and is moderately deer resistant. Its native range includes the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest. With its wildlife value, salt tolerance, and dense growth habit, northern bayberry is suited to hedgerows and moist landscape plantings.
