I had a great experience working with Paul’s Nursery from start to finish. They helped me select several fruit trees and handled the installation, and the entire process was smooth and professional. The team was knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and clearly cared about doing the job right. The trees were healthy, well-planted, and everything was done with attention to detail. I highly recommend Paul’s Nursery to anyone looking for quality fruit trees and reliable installation.

It saddens me to come to this page and see only 4 stars for this stellar business. It almost makes me wonder if the reviewers left their review on the wrong page. I experienced exactly zero of the negative experiences described in some of these reviews. I responded to their ad on facebook and was pleasantly surprised every step of the way! Communication was prompt, professional, respectful, courteous, and most certainly not aggressive. The staff was extraordinarily accommodating, going out on a limb (See what I did there?) to ensure my satisfaction. I purchased a Persian Lime tree from them. They delivered AND planted it at no additional charge – and I live over FIFTY MILES from their site! Upon delivery, the tree was already laden with fruit! This was a birthday gift for my sister. Growing up in Northern Michigan, she would have never dreamed that one day she would have a lime tree in her backyard. THANK you, Shelsea, Paul & staff for taking my sister’s Florida Dreams to the next level. We will definitely see you again!!!

For Christmas 2020 I bought my wife 5 citrus trees from Paul's Nursery. He picked out some very good trees, whenever I had a question he would walk me through it. Normally the first year you get very few pieces of fruit. Because of the quality of Paul's trees and his help after sale this is the first years crop.Pictures of our trees as of Christmas 2021.

Why Buy Wax Myrtle

Versatility is the first thing that draws people to Wax Myrtle. It races into a full, soft curtain of green in short order. The same plant works as a shrub, a clipped hedge, or a slim multi-trunk tree. That reach lets it take on roles that would call for several plants otherwise. Its narrow, olive-toned leaves lend a light, feathery texture. Because it never goes bare, that foliage carries through every month. The overall feel is loose and natural rather than stiff or clipped. For an easy, informal screen, little else competes.

Rugged is the word that fits the plant best. Florida born, the Wax Myrtle was built for exactly these conditions. Heat, humidity, and loose sandy ground do nothing to slow it. It shrugs off a soggy low spot and a bone-dry corner with equal ease. Salt barely registers, which widens the yards that can hold it. That range lets it flourish where pickier plants simply give out. A settled specimen asks almost nothing of the homeowner. When you want a screen you can forget about, this is the one.

There is real character beyond the toughness. Run a hand across the leaves and a clean, resinous scent rises off them. That aromatic foliage has made the plant a Southern staple for generations. In season, small waxy berries line the stems. Those berries pull in songbirds and stir the yard to life. The airy growth and relaxed shape hand a landscape a natural, unforced look. As a native, the plant knits right into the local web of wildlife. Scent, birdsong, and easy good looks in one plant is a rare package.

A plant of any real size is one Paul’s Nursery would rather move for you. A full Wax Myrtle and the back of a car make a poor pairing. The crew lifts and hauls each one on the right equipment, handling it with genuine care. Your plant turns up looking every bit as good as it did on the lot. The planting rides inside the purchase rather than surfacing later as a fee. Team members ease the root ball into readied soil and take on the digging. The estimate names the full figure before a shovel breaks ground. Approve that number and it stands, start to finish.

Flexibility in the landscape is where the plant really pays off. Grown loose, it throws up a quick, natural privacy screen. Cleaned up on a few trunks, it turns into a graceful little tree. Held lower, it settles into a soft, informal hedge. That span suits both easygoing and tidy yards. It fills a bare boundary or gentles a hard corner with no trouble. It even takes on the wet or salty pockets that stop most other plants cold. The team can steer you toward the form that answers your space.

Every plant that leaves the gate has cleared a careful eye. Each Wax Myrtle is raised and looked over right there on the grounds. Routine rounds through the stock surface any trouble while it stays minor. A plant that looks doubtful is held back rather than sent to a customer. The crew will eat the loss before handing over stock primed to struggle. That principle descends straight from the family that has always owned the place. Reputation here rests on steady results, not a lucky load. A long line of returning buyers keeps bearing that out.

The routine after planting stays refreshingly light. Through the opening weeks, keep the water coming as the plant takes hold. Once it settles, drop back to a pair of deep soakings a week when the rains go quiet. Its easy way with different soils makes that watering forgiving. A spring feeding backs strong, fast new growth. A light trim shapes the plant into a screen, a hedge, or a tree. After it establishes, the plant meets Florida’s conditions on its own terms. Order from Paul’s Nursery, and the hands that grew your plant are the ones that set it in the ground.

Commonly Asked Wax Myrtle Planting Questions

Paul’s Nursery keeps a Wax Myrtle purchase straightforward, pairing healthy plants with candid placement advice and delivery throughout Central Florida. The questions below cover what shoppers ask most before they buy.

Few plants shift between forms as readily as Wax Myrtle. Kept full and trimmed, it holds a soft, informal hedge. Left to rise, it becomes a fast, natural privacy screen. Cleaned up on a few stems, it takes the shape of a small tree. That range lets one plant cover jobs that would take several elsewhere. Your space, your style, and your aim all point to the right form. The feathery foliage looks at home in every version. The team helps you land on the shape that suits your yard.

Steering the plant toward a form takes only a little know-how. For a hedge, you trim it to stay full and contained. For a screen, you let it climb and shape it with a light hand. For a small tree, you pick a few strong trunks and clear the growth below. The plant answers pruning fast, which keeps any of these easy. Starting the shaping early makes the whole thing painless. The canopy knits back in quickly after every cut. The crew can show you how to guide the plant as it grows.

The form you choose sets the whole mood of the yard. A multi-trunk tree lends a light, graceful accent to a bed. A hedge draws a soft edge along a border or a walk. A screen curtains off a view while holding a loose, natural look. That informal bearing flatters a great many Florida yards. Blending forms brings real depth to a larger design. The airy foliage ties those different uses together. Paul’s Nursery can help you plan the form that fits your space.

Wax Myrtle bends to soil moisture like few other plants. It takes a wet patch and a dry one with the same easy stride. That span is one of its greatest gifts as a native. A low, damp corner that drowns other plants often suits it perfectly. A parched, sandy edge that wilts lesser plants works for it too. That reach turns it into a fixer for a difficult yard. Almost no screening plant covers such opposite conditions. The team can match the plant to the trickiest spot on your lot.

The roots handle the swings that undo other plants. Where the ground stays wet, the plant tolerates what other roots cannot. When the rain quits, an established plant leans on real drought toughness. That give means you need not fuss over perfect watering. A new plant still wants steady moisture through its first weeks. After that, a pair of deep soakings a week carries it once the rains taper. Once rooted, it asks for little across most sites. That unbothered nature is a big slice of the appeal.

This range unlocks spots nothing else will take. A soggy corner can finally carry a healthy green screen. A hot, dry boundary can hold a full, living wall. A low area that pools after a storm is no obstacle. That flexibility lets the plant solve trouble all over a property. It thrives where fussier picks would falter or fail outright. Grit like that is exactly what a native screen should bring. Paul’s Nursery can help you fit the plant to your conditions.

Wax Myrtle sits among the top natives for a wildlife-friendly yard. Being Florida born, it slots into the local ecosystem naturally. The plant sets small waxy berries along its stems in season. Those berries feed a wide range of songbirds. Birds gather at the plant, bringing motion and sound to the yard. The dense growth also gives them cover to perch and nest. That wildlife draw is a real reward of planting a native. A Wax Myrtle screen doubles as a pocket of backyard habitat.

The berries carry much of the plant’s ecological weight. Their waxy coat feeds birds through the leaner cool-season months. Many songbirds seek them out when other food grows scarce. The plant’s very name traces to that waxy fruit, once melted for candles. Berries form mainly on the female plants of the species. A screen of several plants tends to produce a good crop. That steady food source pulls birds back year after year. The team can speak to the wildlife value when you buy.

Wildlife gets more than a meal from the plant. The dense, feathery growth offers safe perching and nesting room. Its evergreen cover shelters birds right through the seasons. As a native, it fits cleanly into the local food web. A yard leaning on natives supports more birds and butterflies overall. That ecological role adds meaning to the plant’s everyday uses. A screen that both feeds and shelters wildlife is a satisfying thing to grow. Paul’s Nursery can help you build a yard that welcomes it.

Wax Myrtle carries a strong tolerance for salt. That trait sets it apart from many common screening plants. It handles salt spray and salty soil that would scorch other choices. Coastal and near-coastal yards find it especially useful for that reason. The plant also copes well with the conditions around a pool. Salt from a pool deck troubles it far less than it does most plants. That resilience widens the spots where the plant can go. The team can point you to the right use for a salty site.

Its coastal grit ties back to the plant’s native roots. Wax Myrtle grows wild in coastal and low areas across the Southeast. Generations in those conditions built its tolerance for salt and wind. That heritage is why it settles so easily into exposed yards. It stands up to coastal breezes that batter more delicate plants. The plant holds its form and color where salt air is a constant. That toughness makes it a dependable coastal screen. Few natives handle the shore the way this one does.

That salt tolerance opens up planting spots others cannot fill. A boundary near the coast can finally carry a full green screen. A poolside bed can hold a soft, natural hedge. An exposed, windy edge suits the plant just fine. That range lets it solve problems in tricky coastal yards. It thrives where salt would slowly ruin a less rugged plant. That reliability is exactly what an exposed site calls for. Paul’s Nursery can help you plan a screen built for coastal conditions.

The names trace back to the plant’s fragrant, waxy berries. Wax Myrtle carries several common names, including Southern Bayberry and Candleberry. Each name points to a different feature the plant is known for. The waxy coating on its berries is the source of the Candleberry name. Early settlers once boiled those berries to collect the wax. That wax was then used to make fragrant candles. The berries also lend the plant its bayberry association. Those names capture a long history of practical use.

The scent is a big part of the plant’s identity. Brush the foliage and it releases a clean, resinous fragrance. That aroma has made the plant a Southern favorite for generations. The leaves were once used to add a pleasant scent to homes. The fragrance carries lightly on the air around a planting. It makes the plant a treat to have near a walkway or patio. Trimming the plant releases even more of that clean scent. That aromatic quality is part of why the plant endures.

The history adds a bit of charm to a modern landscape. Planting a Wax Myrtle connects a yard to that old Southern tradition. The berries and their wax are a piece of regional heritage. The scent ties the plant to homes and candles of centuries past. That story makes the plant more than just a screen. It brings character and a sense of place to a yard. The plant’s names alone spark curiosity in many gardeners. Paul’s Nursery is happy to share the plant’s background during the visit.

Wax Myrtle handles Central Florida winters with ease. As a native, it is well adapted to the region’s occasional cold. An established plant shrugs off the brief freezes that pass through. The plant is hardy well beyond the mild winters this area sees. That cold tolerance makes it one of the more dependable natives. Homeowners rarely need to fuss over it during a cold snap. The plant holds its foliage and form through a typical winter. The Clermont area poses no real cold challenge for it.

That hardiness sets it apart from more tender screening plants. Many tropicals need protection every time the temperature drops. Wax Myrtle asks for none of that routine care. A young plant still benefits from a little attention during a hard freeze. Covering a new plant on the coldest nights helps it settle in safely. Once established, the plant handles the cold entirely on its own. Most winters here bring nothing the plant cannot take. That toughness is a big part of its low-maintenance appeal.

The plant’s resilience carries through the seasons. Its evergreen foliage stays full and green through the winter. That constant cover keeps a screen working all year long. The plant needs no special prep as cold weather arrives. Its native hardiness means one less thing to worry about. A screen that holds up through winter is exactly what most yards want. That year-round reliability is a real strength of the plant. Paul’s Nursery can speak to its cold hardiness during the buying conversation.

Yes, Paul’s Nursery carries delivery and planting for Wax Myrtle across the whole Central Florida service area. The planting sits inside the order rather than surfacing as a separate fee. The crew rolls up with the plants, the gear, and the skill to set them right. From the first cut of the hole to the opening soak, every step is covered. Your free estimate names the cost and the schedule before any work begins. Ahead of time, the team locks in the spot, the timing, and any prep required. Folks in Clermont, Winter Garden, The Villages, and the towns around them book it regularly. For most homeowners, the ease of it alone earns the call.

The install moves through a sequence the crew knows cold. They read the location, probe for buried lines, and confirm the site fits the plants. The holes open to the proper depth and width, the root flare set level. Native soil packs back around the roots, coaxing them out into the yard. The plant’s easy way with soil makes it forgiving to establish. One thorough watering beds the roots into their new home. On the way out, the team runs you through what the plants need next. A single visit closes out most jobs.

Timing turns on the season and how full the calendar runs. Spring and fall pull the densest crowd of homeowners. Booking early helps you lock a delivery date inside your own week. The nursery bends around the weather when it can, since a heavy rain can spoil a fresh planting. A quick call keeps the whole thing clear and direct. Each delivery earns the same care the plants knew back on the grounds. The point is a plant still thriving well past the day the truck leaves. That purpose steers every stage of the work.

Spacing decides how quickly a Wax Myrtle screen closes in. Plants set nearer together knit into a solid wall faster. Plants spaced wider take a little longer to fill the gaps. For a fast privacy screen, a spacing of a few feet between plants works well. That closeness lets the plants grow together into one continuous line. The plant’s quick growth helps close any openings in short order. Paul’s Nursery works out the right spacing for your specific goal. The team handles the layout so the screen fills in evenly.

The size of the plants at planting shapes the spacing plan. Larger plants set at the right distance deliver a finished screen sooner. Smaller plants cost less and still fill fast, given the plant’s speed. Even spacing keeps the row straight and the wall uniform. Proper gaps also leave each plant room for healthy roots. That balance of closeness and root space is the whole trick. The crew marks the line so the planting comes out clean. Full sun along the row keeps every plant dense and thriving.

Good spacing sets the screen up to last for years. Plants with room to root stay vigorous and full. A well-spaced row grows into a soft, even wall of green. Crowding the plants too tightly can strain the roots over time. Spreading them too far leaves thin spots that linger. The crew weighs those factors against your plants and your goals. A quick check for buried utilities comes before any digging starts. Paul’s Nursery brings the experience to space the row just right.
