Large Plumeria Cutting Question

9 years ago

I have 3 large plumerias in Riverside, CA. We just had a windstorm and all three of them are in various states of falling over. One large branch broke off. Another huge branch was ready to break so I sawed it off. They all need to be cut way back and then propped up. I don't feel like I should wait to cut them back because they're just too heavy to try to prop back up the way they are. They're not yet dormant. I've been successful rooting large very cuttings in the past, but never this time of year.

Should I cut them now, trim the leaves, put them in the garage and wait until spring to reroot (I don't have a choice with the two branches I have)? Or, should I leave them intact and prop them up as best I can, cross my fingers that they don't continue to break and wait until spring to prune?

Thanks in advance.
