Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the Vitex Castus seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to help soften the seed coat and improve germination.

Sowing:

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for planting.

Dig a hole slightly larger than the size of the seed and place the seed in the hole.

Cover the seed with soil and water thoroughly.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 3-6 weeks, but it may take longer.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Maintain a warm temperature of around 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them to their permanent location.

Space the seedlings 10-20 feet apart to allow for proper growth and development.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water young trees regularly, especially during dry periods, to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Vitex Castus trees are drought tolerant.

Pruning: Prune the tree in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged branches and maintain its shape.

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Happy gardening!
