Mine is about the same age and size. I've started trimming the ends of
branches, which become long and pendulous, to keep it in bounds, and need to
remove some watersprouts.
They're not tall enough for shade, and anyway when it gets really hot in
late summer and fall, the leaves start dropping, even if you water a lot.
But in spring, mine is BEAUTIFUL and bright green, and when it blooms in
a flush in spring and then sporadically through the summer, hummingbirds and
bees LOVE it, and so do I!
My son and husband with bad allergies, however, hate it and won't mow
near it because it makes them itch so bad.

VItex is also deer proof. Crush a leaf and smell it and you'll see why.
