Plumeria 'Plastic Pink' or Red


Plumeria 'Plastic Pink' or Red (Plumeria 'Plastic Pink' or Red)

My largest plumeria has gotten bigger this year. It's so huge it's taking over a large part of the back yard. I need to cut it back a little next year. It's loaded with flowers because of the 10 day horrible heatwave. Photo taken Oct. 4, 2016.

Getting really big. How long do you have it, Delonix1?

Yes, it's taking over the backyard.

I bought it as a small plant in 2000 or 2001, it's been in the ground since 2004.

Here's a pics of when it was smaller:

Is that the same one that lost a branch in 2009? It is doing well.

Yes, it lost a big branch during the Santa Ana winds in September 2009. It's completely recovered. It needed to be staked, though. I can't imagine how big it would be if it didn't loose that large branch. It also lost some branches in a really big storm in 2010 or 2011.
