  • Question

    Hi! I'm a Living Collections fellow at Long Hill Estate (The Trustees) in Beverly, MA. We have a number of plants on the property that are labeled Myrica Pensylvanica, but I've recently learned they're of wild provenance dating to the early 20th century: I'm wondering if they're Morella caroliniensis. A Q &A entry from this board dating to 2017 outlined some of the differences, but the botany is a little beyond my level. Can I send pics, and could you describe what you'd want to see in them? Tx!
