This was my first full year with my plumeria in the ground. I have several notes, and one apology.

Firstly, they grow really fast in ground. I have one plant that grew over three feet, grew three inflos, and is toppling over from the weight of it all!

Secondly, my opinion is that weather permitting, you'll get at least one inflo per year when planted in ground. I have anywhere from 1-3 this year. Zero holdouts like when they're potted.

Now for the apology: At one point around a year ago, I stated a general rule of trees that was not to stake them. Perhaps plumeria are 'trees', but the 'rule' doesn't apply to them, or only applies when they're older.

Oh, how wrong I was. All of my 'normal' plumeria are fine, but that one that grew over three feet looks tired and ready to lay down. I don't remember who I had the conversation with, but I was wrong.
