WANTED: Frangipane cuttings

17 years ago

I was wondering if anyone has some larger frangipane (plumeria) trees that would be kind enough to send me some cuttings. I say larger trees because I don't want anyone to spoil a small tree. I saw them grow to huge trees whilst in Hawaii a few years back so I guess they do the same in Queensland. I will cover postage and any costs involved. I would like to get some colours as I already have the standard white/yellow. They seem to do fine here in Melbourne but the different coloured ones are hard to find. I would like to see some of the pinks and pink/yellow mixes and any others there may be.

We were given a cutting recently and were suggested to let it dry out with all the leaves dropped off then to plant it. Is that correct?

Hi Shain, I will have tons of 'Painted Lady', a few 'Pink Perfektion' and 'Dolens Rosenresli', some 'Pink Blush' and maybe a small cutting of 'Orange Julius'. I send healthy cuttings of mature wood around 12" in length, and will always include at lease 1-2 pieces of branched cuttings for earlier bloom next season. If you scroll down to earlier posts here or on the "Brugmansia Forum", I have posted pictures of different ones. If you're interested let me know. I'd love to have the B&B voucher. Priority Mail postage will run me at least $20. Let me know. This is 'Painted Lady', a prolific bloomer even in Alabama heat. Opens white the first night, if the weather is cool it will turn yellow the second, and on the third turn from light pink to almost orange over a period of days. Usually all three colors are present on the same plant. Extremely fragrant. IMO, the only brug you'll ever need :-D

Yes, just plant the bare stem and it should grow quite well for you.

As the plants have a fleshy stem and milky sap it is best to allow cuttings to dry before planting so that they do not rot.
