Abstract
A new and distinct variety of southern wax myrtle, Myrica cerifera, which has been given the cultivar name ‘Whit XXIX’ is characterized by an upright growth habit with dense evergreen foliage which is aromatic and resistant to damage by white tail deer and tolerant to cold down to −18 F. Foliage is dense, with the many broad flat leaves making it effective as a visual barrier as well as noise reduction. The new cultivar ‘Whit XXIX’ has more dense branching and more leaves compared to other plants of similar size and age, with branches primarily produced on the second (summer) flush.
