„Small tree or large shrub (of southeastern North America). It is adaptable to many habitats, growing naturally in wetlands, near rivers and streams, sand dunes, fields, hillsides, pine barrens, and in both coniferous and mixed-broadleaf forests.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morella_cerifera
„Wax myrtle bark, leaves, and berries were historically used for a variety of medicinal purposes such as decoctions, tinctures and infusions for the treatment of fevers, dysentery, convulsions, colic, palsy and bleeding gums, to name just a few. Another traditional use of the wax myrtle fruit was as a source of wax for bayberry candles.“ http://www.nccoast.org/blog-post.aspx?k=72c3c73e-eabe-42cc-8400-2ef5c273d44a
