See, everyone loves a Vitex, once they find the perfect place and form. It was the flower that drew my first Hummers to my yard. They couldn't resist it coming every 10 minutes for a drink. I could almost set my watch by them.
Here is a pic from another DGer that convinced me to grow it like a tree>

Note the crooks in the lower limbs... Suppose it would be pruned like a Youpon or Crepe Myrtle. To me it looks kindof Oriental trimmed this way ^^.

Here is a Hummer snacking, Paige, you might remember this from last year>
