Frangipani Plumeria Alba 14 years old was created by Indo Andreas

This is my Frangipani Plumeria Alba 14 years old. This tree was sitting in a pot neglected as neglect can be, I cut it about 10-15 times, always on the same spots, that gave me the 35cm base. Today I walked around and seen it growing new shoots from below one trunk that was left, the roots where about 50cm below the pot spread over the pavement. I needed the pruning saw to cut him out. As expected soil was little, so the root base came of too. This tree grows very well in the tropics, you cut a branch and stick it into the ground, done. So no worries about fine roots, they can for this year develop in the training pot. I wire brushed the tree and removed all fine roots that where above the soil, removed all branches (one long 1m one and a small shite one, done for now.

I would say that the more you cut, the longer it takes to thicken up. However, some plants (Such as acer) create loads of side branches when you remove the main branch. These can be used to, season after season, locally add a bit of girth.

Indo, the tree you show.. When you say the base is 30cm. I suppose you refer to the rootspread, not to the actual trunk, right?

Her an update on the Frangipani, it has been raining the whole year through since back-cutting the tree, I haven't working on it, or any other trees of mine, this will change however as soon the dry season starts, then then I will progress on cutting and wiring.
