If you're searching for the best small tree for your yard, look no further than the Vitex - also known as the Chaste tree, or Monk's Pepper (Vitex agnus-castus). I love this plant! The Vitex is a deciduous shrub that grows really quickly, and it bears clusters of really pretty, fragrant purple flowers in the summer time. You'll want to keep it pruned, as it tends to get a little leggy.

Thanks for watching!
Fun fact: the Chaste tree is also called Monk's Pepper - apparently, monks used to eat it in order to help suppress desire!
It's a little too warm here in Zone 8 to grow lilac, so the Vitex is a nice replacement for that. It should be hardy in zones 6-9, it can take the heat. It's also a good pollinator, attracting many bees.
