Description

The listing, Vitex/ Chaste Tree Seeds-50+ Fresh Ones has ended.

Vitex Negundo, or Chaste tree, is a heat and drought tolerant plant that will provide pollen and nectar for honeybees all thru the Summer and into Autumn. They also will be a beautiful flowering small tree for you, producing many, many light blue flower spikes in the Summer till frost
They will spread out easily by seed, making an eventual grove if you care for one....Included in the pack is over 50 seeds. They are from near my apiary, so I know that they are fertile..Germination takes 14-18 days. Plant early indoors for early setout in the Spring. Large shrubs will reach 8-12 feet easily, with older trees reaching to 20 feet They cannot live outside in Winters above zone 5, and further north they will require potting to be able to be moved insde during cold snaps , but they do well in the heat and drought of Texas.

They do double-duty for me and my honeybees, so I like them a lot!

I live in Virginia and I'm not sure which zone that is. Will I need to bring these in during our winter months if I win them?

I think you are at the northern range, but even if they freeze, they will re-sprout ffrom the roots. In pots, you will never get a full-sized tree, but you can prune for an attractive , multi-stemmed specimen in a 10 gallon pot.

Ok, thank you! I've never had one of those so I'm excited to see how it grows.

If it goes to 0 where you are, you can increase the amount not frozen by making a circle of chicken wire around it , and filling the circle with dry leaves. I have heard of many folks doing just that..Hope this helps.
