PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
Dwarf Wax Myrtle and Tree Form Wax Myrtle makes one of the best screening options in Houston. You'll see it everywhere lining utility areas, pools, and unsightly areas. It's so widely used because it works. It is evergreen, fast growing, dense and able to withstand a variety of terrible soil conditions while thriving.
In a planting bed the dwarf variety is also useful in massing and as a hedge. 'Don's Dwarf' get to about 24" high and wide and is quite popular.
