Just What Kind of Plant Is That, Anyway?
This is my chaste tree (vitex.) For two weeks of the year, it's drop-dead gorgeous.



The rest of the time, my children, granchildren and passers-by snicker at the leaves. They seem to think it's a giant pot tree. (Although, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever actually tried it.)

The pictures don't do the leaves justice.... The plant really does look like she's growing something illegal....

I like the purple flowers!
And...you could give the tree a nice name, like um...Mary Jane?!

It really is beautiful - it looks a bit like buddlia from here ... . Have you had any visits from the local law enforcement? :).

I have put a pic of the house up, btw :).

I hope the police never visit you, having made the same erroneous assumption about your Vitex tree, MiteyMite.
