I meant no offense in my response to you at all, and in general appreciate your response to this thread! What’s interesting about your image is the color of the petioles/stocks. Almost like a rosy pink. All of the large yard Vitex I’ve seen have this style leaf, long and slender. But I’ve never seen that rosy color. Very cool. Perhaps what we have is a bi product of genetic splicing and nursery propagation.
And then some. So hard to convey sarcasm through message, though I always try. ?No, no problem at all! I did never felt any offense!
Just a precaution... Written word leaves room for misunderstanding, if you know what I mean
I will read it thoroughly later but from the first look so many cultivars of Vitex I wouldn't imagine!
Not at all @my nellie !! I encourage it. @milehigh is spot on. His knowledge base for the species is extensive. I’ve certainly noticed that in full sun the internodal length on mine has decreased significantly.
Do you notice that the lower leaves yellow during the summer and drop? Or is it just a sign of too much water? If you’re interested the nursery one I have is for sale. After two weeks of rain and more on the way I just don’t think it’s liking it here.
Very cool. With the development of mine moving along so quickly, I’m excited to add to my collection with more Vitex. I’m eyeing more and more urban yamadori that may need pursuasion to be dug. ?
Thank you for posting your experience.
