Vitex Trees
We live in Florence, Tx. In August we purchased about 30 vitex trees
from lowes and planted them as a hedge along the front of the road. The leaves on all the plants are spotting, turning yellow and curling. This appears not only on the old leaves but the new leaves also coming out. We did put in an irrigation system but we don't know if we've over watered, under watered or there's something else going on. Has anyone else had this experience. |

My chaste trees are all doing the same thing right now. Some have drip
irrigation and others don't. I don't worry about it, but unlike yours, mine have been in the ground a number of years. I think this happens every year. -- Gary Brady Austin, TX "cal" wrote in message m... We live in Florence, Tx.

I only have one, but it's been in the ground several years and it's doing the same thing. Must need a rest from the heat. Cindy |

Hey, thanks for responding. It does make me feel better that you say
yours do this every year. Guess we'll wait and see what happens. "Gary Brady" wrote in message ink.net... My chaste trees are all doing the same thing right now.

Thanks for getting back with me. It does make me feel better that
ours are not the only ones having problems. Guess we'll wait and see what happens. "Cindy" wrote in message ... Gary Brady wrote: My chaste trees are all doing the same thing right now.
