Keep Your bagged Frangipani Trees Upright
If the frangipani is likely to fall or blow over, tie a rope to a fence or tree trunk. Depending on the tree shape and surface, a frangipani can break a branch off. A frangipani lying down horizontally in the summer sun is likely get sunburn. Thin branches that get sunburnt will shrivel up and die within hours.
Moving Frangipani Trees
Most of our frangipanis these days in strong green bags with strong handles. These handles are useful to lift or drag the bags. Some of our frangipanis are in old bags or black plastic bags with no handles. I often get my hands underneath the bag and lift it like a weightlifter until my legs and back are straight and get my arms underneath the bag. For heavy frangipani trees that have strong roots, it’s usually a good idea to lean the tree on a 45 degree angle and drag it by pulling the trunk. A refrigerator trolley or similar can also be useful.
Warning. When moving tall frangipanis, most people look down and watch their step which makes it easy to forget about high branches getting caught on something.
Plant Soon or Wait
Our frangipani trees are happy to wait in their pot or bag until you are ready to transplant them. For potted and bagged frangipanis, try to give them 2 to 10 hours sun per day. In the summer and for sun, water about once a week. Rainy weather isusually sufficient wter almost never in the winter.
