Chastetree can be grown as a large, deciduous, multistemmed shrub or small, 10 to 15 feet tall tree (perhaps 20 feet with lots of training), and is noteworthy for its splendid, summer display (late springtime in the deep South) of fragrant, upwardly-pointing, terminal panicles of white blooms which are quite attractive to butterflies and bees. The tree is often planted where honey is marketed to promote excellent honey production. The trunk is gray and blocky and somewhat ornamental. The sage-scented leaves of Chastetree are shaped liked a hand, or palmate, and were once believed to have sedative effects. Vitex has the common name "Chastetree" since Athenian women used the leaves in their beds to keep themselves chaste during the feasts of Ceres. Vitex seeds itself into landscaped beds and can become somewhat weedy.
