Umbellularia californica (Oregon Myrtle) 
A handsome hardy evergreen tree, 25 to 30 feet in height and sometimes 
reaching 75 feet. Native of southern Oregon and northern California where it 
reaches its greatest perfection of growth along the streams and valleys of the 
coast range. The tree is conical in form and the leaves are highly aromatic. 
Well adapted to hedges. Sargent has described the Myrtle as ‘‘one of the 
stateliest and most beautiful inhabitants of North American forests, and no 
evergreen tree of temperate regions surpasses it in the beauty of its dark 
dense crown of lustrous foliage”
