Description: Chaste trees only require a little winter care as they will die back every year and regrow in the spring when grown as a perennial. Cut the trunk to the ground and mulch around the roots to protect it from the cold and preserve moisture. Chaste trees tolerate some frost but should move indoors if growing in containers. When growing vitex from seed, it is best to start indoors in the early spring about four weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds into prepared potting soil in planters or flats and keep them in a warm and sheltered area of the house with direct sunlight to promote germination. Keep consistently moist. In the past, chasteberry extracts were used to treat a variety of gynecological disorders and skin conditions. Today, chasteberry is promoted as a dietary supplement for symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, breast pain associated with the menstrual cycle, infertility, and other conditions. *PLANT USES DISCLAIMER* Any information in this listing is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for the advice provided by your physician or other healthcare professional. You should not use the information provided here for diagnosing or treating a health problem or disease or prescribing any medication or other treatment. Please consult with your doctor or professional herbalist prior any use of this herb/plant. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
