Milky, this tree is across the street from the previously posted photo of the Plumeria tree. Notice it receives a lot of water...it is lush with leaves, however, no flowers. This photo was taken last Summer on the same day as the previous photo.

Milky:
It is difinitely too much water....the grass is very green which indicates this tree receives a lot of water. Here is San Diego no one has green grass without a lot irrigation in Summer.
The brick wall would absorb a lot of heat since it faces south (the brick surface..I would estimate in the Summer is very often 110 degrees F. / 43 degree C. Which is a good thing, as Plumeria trees loves heat.
I've actually watered and given some of my plumeria plants a lot of nitrigen to push the growth...then the following year given them the high nitrogen in Spring to push the leave growth and then switch to high-bloom in the Summer to initiate blooming...it is standard practive with potted plumeria plants.

Maybe too much water Andy.......Perhaps the wall shelters the roots too much from the sun?.............but I agree it looks so healthy...........
