Pruning frangipanis
Hi
I would say 6' - 183 cm high & a nice width to that, I find Frangipanis can get straggly & I like to see them nice. What a crappy explanation. cheers sandra "Dave Turner" wrote in message ... Compact Frangipani, is there such a thing!? (what dimensions are your idea of a compact frangi?) |

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. David |
