Morella quercifolia was formerly called Myrica quercifolia. It is grown as a garden ornamental in mixed borders or as a potted container plant. It grows up to 1 m tall but it spreads horizontally so it is very useful in the landscapes. It takes any conditions, drought, sun, shade and moderate frosts. The plant is dioecious, so you need a male and a female to set seeds. Leaves and fruits are waxy but actually the substance is not wax - it is an unusual type of fat that looks like wax. The leaves of Morella quercifolia are used in an old Cape remedy for the relief of stomachache. The bid amount is for 1 Seed Growing Instructions will be sent to your email.
