for the great info Terry! All of mine are in pots. They look taller than they are because the pots are above ground. My Hausten White is the best when it comes to branching out. Sometime I get 5 branches after each bloom.
I've always had luck cutting the tall lanky plumerias but like everyone I still hesitate to cut them. I bought my J23 on clearance from BBB and it came to me as a long rooted 2 tip cutting. When I planted it in a 3 gallon pot it got even tallerand lankier. So I cut it up 3x, I rooted the mid section which branched out 3 branches, then rooted the 2 tip and left the main trunk which branched out 2 branches. To my surprise, the main trunk bloomed same year and rebloomed again this spring but my 2 tips seems to be stunted with no inflo in sight but I'm confident they will bloom this year. The blooms are big and it is almost basketball size. I took this pic this morning, its height right now is ideal for picture taking. Now I have 2 plants and I gave the midsection to my friend.
