Hi

I am looking to plant a frangipani but I want to keep it fairly compact,
can
I prune it continually?
thanks
Sandra



No, only do it once a year. In the middle of winter is best. If you feed it
lightly in spring and don't let it die of thirst in summer there is no
reason why you cannot keep it compact and fairly bushy for years. The trunk
will thicken with age but if you keep lots of new growth coming it should
still look nice. They are pretty tough plants unless it is too cold when
they will not thrive.
