Thank you very much for your article. On rainy summer days, when we were in Cape May, my mother would take my sisters and me to a wonderful place called The Country Store. I believe it was on Franklin Street. The store was always permeated with the aroma of bayberry. This was in the fifties. Many people associate the scent of bayberry with Christmas,

but for me, it will always evoke rainy summer afternoons in that magical store.

Well, that is exactly what the birds do and how they get planted in nature! BUT, it will take a while. i would buy and plant a few plants and then also plant some seeds. A one gallon pot is usually only around 10 or 12 dollars.
