Default Pictures of Plumeria growing in Arkansas

Like citrus, Plumeria is not indigenous to Arkansas and must be brought in for the winter. These also get to be very large TREES. My large 7 foot ones are actually small considering they get to be 30 feet when grown in the ground. I have 18 that range in size from 4ft. to 7ft., most are around 6ft wide and in 15 to 30 gallon pots. I also have 15 rooted cuttings and around 80 seedlings. These along with the 24 citrus plants, 4 fig, 1 sago palm, 3 4ft hibiscus, 6 1ft hibiscus, 3 4ft dwarf Cavendish banana, and 16 orchids, MUST come inside for the winter. Winter storage space is at a premium to say the least. Its a good thing that Plumeria can be overwintered bare root to save space.

I have a few plants blooming now and thought you would like to see them. Each has a different scent but they are all heavenly.
