| I look at the plumeria others are growing and I see taller growing trees with some branches but not a thicket. Mine mostly seem to grow stocky, multibranched, not sure why, but it does make them easier to take care of. What are others' experiences with this? Maybe I don't fertilize enough. Here are samples of what mine grow like:
J4/Multiple Gold:
Unknown Thai, purchased as "Sangwaltubtim"
Jungle Jack's Inner Peace:
Irma 5 (purchased from Thai vendor):
Jungle Jack's Inca Gold:

| Climate, pot size, and/or cultivar could all be reasons. Most likely the last reason. I believe many of JJ's cultivars have short/stocky habits and they are mostly from Thailand. If it suits how you want them to grow then why worry about it. Nice work. |
|
| From what I understand, all of JJ's are Thai varieties, which tend to stay short and branch out on maybe 3 or so inch branches. If you go to his website, he stresses that his are strictly Thai, grown in Thailand and not crossed at all with any Hawaiian or Mexican variety. |
|
| Everyone of them makes me envious! :) |
|
| Me too!! I have JJ's California Sunset, which has a shape like yours, and I love it. But then I have a few other trees that have all their branches on one high level! I like yours better! |
