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.

Obviously the flowers are my wife's deal, not mine. But, good info to know.:-)
We do have several coconut trees. Eating the coconut meat we haven't figured out when to tell when its ripe but the coconut milk is fantastic once we google how to open a coconut without losing a hand. We also have a bunch of banana's growing again after getting almost wiped out in a hurricane. [Reply]

Damn, nice property you have with all that. Your plumeria look very healthy. I’ve tried growing banana here but it’s a lot of work in the desert and I’ve been unsuccessful. [Reply]
