The chaste tree is a small deciduous tree or large shrub with showy flower spikes. The flowers appear in the spring and summer and attract butterflies. Will tolerate dry conditions, but will perform well with light water and fertilizer. Moderately frost hardy. Usually multi-stemmed. Useful for areas where there is not room for a larger tree. It can be pruned any way desired to achieve clearance and shading.
