Vitex agnus-castus adds a soft lavender blush to the landscape. This versatile plant can be trained as a large shrub or a small multi-trunked tree.
Despite its graceful and delicate appearance, vitex is as tough as nails and remarkably drought-tolerant. During periods of hot dry weather, the tree flourishes for all to enjoy. You can find this specimen as you enter the Ground Floor Woolman Building on the Medford Campus.
