Default Northern Bayberry

Sylvan Nursery in Westport, MA, also a website
http://www.sylvannursery.com/
Bayberry is also very easy to start from seeds. in the late fall, gather
bayberries, and rub the 'wax' off the outside of the seed. I used a
screen strainer, rubbing them all by hand, in several batches. Then sow
in very sandy soil, in pots, and sink the pots in the ground to go
through winter. Mulch them well, and in the spring, they'll sprout. When
I started them from seed I got about half and half male and female.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy FEMALE Northern Bayberry? I have bought at
least 30 plants with no luck. All have apparently been male. I am told they
are available (the sexed plants) but where?

Thank you
