They are known for their attractive, fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of purple from late spring to early summer, and their clusters of small, dark berries that resemble peppercorns. But the Chaste Tree’s usefulness goes beyond its beauty. Its berries have been used as a substitute for black pepper since the Middle Ages, and they are still used today in many dishes. In fact, Chaste Tree berries have a milder and sweeter taste than black pepper, making them a healthier and more flavorful option for seasoning your meals. If you are looking to add some color to your landscape consider planting these purple flowering chaste tree seeds. These seeds will grow into beautiful, fast-growing chaste trees that will add a pop of color to your yard or garden. With their vibrant color and easy care, purple flowering trees are a great addition to any landscape. Germination Procedure: Soak in a glass of water for 24 hours before sowing. Sow seeds 1/4 an inch depth. Keep seeds and soil moist throughout the germination phase. Seeds sprout when temperature is consistently warm (usually within a month under these conditions). How to Care for Chaste Trees:Interest in growing Chaste Trees is growing, as they are a relatively low-maintenance tree that is easy to care for. They can grow in a variety of soils, but they prefer well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant and require minimal pruning. When planting your Chaste Trees, make sure to space them at least 10 to 15 feet apart to give them room to grow. Water them regularly during their first year to help them establish their root system. Once established, they will only need to be watered during dry spells. Fertilizing your Chaste Trees once a year with a slow-release fertilizer will also help them thrive. If you notice any yellowing leaves, you can supplement with iron fertilizer to correct the deficiency. One thing to keep in mind when growing Chaste Trees is that they can be quite large, growing up to 20 feet in height and width. This makes them an excellent choice for a large landscape or property, but they may not be suitable for smaller yards unless you keep them well pruned. With the help of these seeds, you can quickly grow a beautiful tree that will be the envy of all your neighbors. So go ahead and plant some today and enjoy the beauty and flavor they bring to your outdoor space!
