The plumeria is about 6' now. Anything higher, and even this may be too high, would make it a real target for the wind. There are a 8-10 3/4" trunks so even though it's lost it's leaves on the lower 3rd, it doesn't look leggy. I have it wired discreetly to the railing, but it still bends quite a bit in a strong gust.
Cuts can be made and regrowth from sideshoots will occur. I'll cut one inconspicuous trunk and see how she fairs. A friend has had success simply plugging a cutting into a pot.
This plant has white blooms. White is an interesting (non) color in the garden.
