Chaste Tree -Reply

If you are referring to Vitex agnus castus, I live
in 6b/7a, PNW, east of Portland, Oregon.  We
get ice and wicked east winds from the
Columbia Gorge.  Not much snow.  

I have had this tree/shrub in my garden for
about 5 years now and love it, as do the bees. 
Its fabulous for late summer color (electric
blue).  Being a late bloomer, its also late to leaf
out (so don't get discouraged and think its
dead!)

I am trying to make mine more small treeish
(rather than shrubbish - branches to the
ground).  Mine is about 7' tall now.  Its not a
slow grower, but not super fast, either.  I just
thin it and shape it. Haven't had to do much
other pruning, at this point.  Has had no winter
die back here, and we had a really terrible ice
storm about 2 years ago.  Merely acts
deciduous.
