Bayberry

Bayberry comprises shrubs and trees notable for their aromatic leaves and clustered fruits. Typically growing in wetlands or near water bodies, they feature small, wind-pollinated flowers and waxy-coated fruits, which help them thrive in damp environments. The root system hosts nitrogen-fixing bacteria, crucial for adapting to nutrient-poor soils.
