The fruits are small round wood-like structures.
I placed my car in the photo to provide a perspective to gauge the size of the specimen.
The blooms up close and beautiful.

Growing in Devon Garden Blenheim NZ
I got it as a sappling last October from the treefolks in Austin, TX. It is just a baby plant so far but I just love the foliage.
I just planted this one last fall. About 2 1/2 feet in the pic.
Vitex seeds I collected last fall. They smell soooo good.

Awesome plant, and the hummers seem to LOVE them too!!
