shrub identification #878501

Asked July 23, 2024, 9:05 PM EDT

This shrub was damaged by a truck. I want to replace it. What is it? I have more pictures but the size is too large to load to your form. If you need more pictures maybe I can email them

Expert Response

Your shrub is our native Wax Myrtle (Morella cerifera).
 Is it otherwise healthy or is there a particular reason that you want to replace it versus letting it grow and regain shape, perhaps with some pruning over time?
