My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How much shade will wax myrtle take??

19 years ago

I want to plant a wax myrtle hedge at wood's edge in the back yard. We want an evergreen hedgerow for screening from the neighbors and also for cover for wild birds.

This area gets dappled shade as well as a few hours of direct sun. Will the wax myrtle do well here? MS z7.

I would appreciate your help.

Michele
