Hi I was hoping someone could tell me if i cut the smallest branch off a
Frangapani tree how do I start a new tree from that, it is the softer
twig/branch that 7 or so smaller twigs come off which all have flowers,
Ive been told that it can be done by planting straight into soil. or
does it have to be one of the larger branches(harder ones) is there
more to it than that? I presume so! Thanx for your help.

You must live in one of the warmer zones to grow Frangipani Scotty. I
had great luck cutting off soft limbs and planting directly in the soil
with them. I grew them when we lived in Saudi Arabia and had the white,
yellow, and red (pink) flowering ones. Scented the patio up nicely too.

Strange thing living in a desert and grew orchids and tropical trees as
a hobby for five years. Long as you had water anything would grow. Good
luck with your frangipani.
