Weird request, but do any of you living in these areas have a plumeria on your property? I just started growing them this year and I’d love to purchase a cutting from you. Amazing plants. There's literally 1000's of different varieties, sizes, color and smells. The smells can range from candy, perfume or even sun tan lotion! You won't get blooms every year until they're older and established, but the wait is well worth it. Cuttings are simply taken from a plant, dried out for 7-14 days and then placed in well draining soil. It's fairly easy to establish a new plant from a cutting.
My first and only flowering plumeria from May of this year. There's a light, fruity fragrance to this.
Found a local seller and bought 2 new plumeria along with a few other goodies this spring.
For a cutting to get roots, they recommend plunging the pot straight into soil. This protects the roots from getting too hot in the AZ summers. They also recommend wrapping the trunks to prevent sun burn.
And today I added the brick border and some mulch to where I want the plumeria and hibiscus to grow at the end of the pool.

First attempt at a mango tree! Built a shade structures over the raised bed which helps tropical trees and the vegetable garden make it through the summer.
