Need frangipani advice.

[malt25]

Hi all. Some advice please.

I've established a lawn & garden at our home. All is looking quite good. I've 2 pretty well established frangipani trees. I think that's how it's spelt. I'd like to propagate. From some limited knowledge of years ago I "think" the things to do are...

1. Wait til all leaves fall.

2. Cut selected section & let dry out for several weeks.

3. Seal cut section of tree to prevent rot due to moisture.

4. Plant cut sections in well drained soil about 6 to 8 weeks after cutting from tree.

Both trees were pretty well established when planted about 9 months ago. Both are growing strongly. Plenty of flowers. Neither of the trees has so far shed any leaves. Is this common in Thailand ? Back in OZ, frangipanies were always bare for several months each year.

Any info, advice very much appreciated.

Thanks..... Mal.

We had frangipani in Africa. If we wanted to start a new tree, as stated above, we'd just whack off a bit, stick it in the soil and keep it watered or let the rains do it, depending on the time of the year.

Thanks all. Sounds too easy. I'll give it a try.

Cheers..... Mal.

Yes they are pretty easy.... If they have leaves, I take off most of them and stick in pot or ground....

Takes about a month generally to produce roots... If done in dry season, moisten foliage a few times a day for first while!

We let them lay on the ground till the leaves fall off,then pot them

or put in ground, if you put them in straight away they can rot.but

that's just the way we do it.
