Two years ago I procured a "pencil thick" Divi Divi plant. It is growing well but there is hardly any increase in the trunk thickness despite good care. Can anybody suggest as to what I need to do to increase the girth of the trunk? Please!

Divi Divis are very slow to gain girth around their trunk. The fastest
way to grow a thick trunk would be to plant it in the ground and allow
it to grow freely. If your climate does not allow this (they are not
very cold tolerant), a large growing box will work almost as well.
Just remember to keep it in a well draining soil.
