Frangipani Species
After you have considered your possible planting positions and the microclimates of those positions, you should compare the suitability of each frangipani species and decide which species you prefer.
Frangipani Flower Colours
You should then consider what flower colours are available for each species, compare the availability and attractiveness of each and decide which frangipani flowers you prefer.
Frangipani Features
Most customers are focussed on 2 or 3 features when choosing a frangipani tree however many customers overlook one or more other important features. Here’s a list of the features we consider to be important when choosing a frangipani tree.
1-Shape. Overall shape including length and direction of branches.
2-Trunk. A thick straight trunk. If you choose a frangipani with long trunk and small high branches, it will grow into a more balanced tree.
3-Root Strength. A bigger bag can indicate a stronger root system but more importantly is how established the roots are inside the bag. If the frangipani is standing up straight with little or not support, it indicates a strong root system.
4-Value-For-Money. We clearly display our prices for each frangipani tree so customers can quickly eliminate options outside of their budget.
I’ve just started looking for a frangipani tree for our yard and your website has been very helpful. We’re living in Fremantle in Perth at the moment so we can’t visit you but I just wanted to say thanks.
Check the roots of a frangipani.
No roots. A frangipani cutting comes out of the dirt with no resistance.
Weak roots. A frangipani cutting, plant or tree fails the tilt test.
Not bad, not great. Passes the tilt test but not the lift test.
Strong roots. Passes the lift test.
Hold the frangipani by the trunk and tilt it to a 45 degree angle. If the roots are good enough, the pot or bag should move with the trunk. As soon as a small root breaks, you can feel the vibration up the trunk, and you know to stop. This damage is insignificant because there are many small roots. If the everything tilts together without any roots breaking, the frangipani passes the “tilt test”.
Gently, lift the frangipani by the trunk. If you feel a small root break, stop lifting. If, however, you can lift the whole frangipani by the trunk, it passes the “lift test”.
