If you are looking for a frangipani tree
for your landscaping project or for whatever reason, we hope
we can help you.
Below
is some basic information which our customers usually want to
know. If you are interested, please follow the link at the
bottom of the page for our contact information, prices and
pictures of available trees.
Height of our
Frangipani Trees
Our frangipanis trees range from around 130cm to
around 280cms. Most are around 150 to 180cms tall. These
measurements are from the ground to the top crown. The soil
in the bag is around 40cm (50cms for 100 litre bags). It is
recommended to plant the tree so the base of the tree (soil
level in bag) is 10 cms higher than the surrounding land.
Allowing for this 10cms and 10cms which leaves add at the
top, you should subtract 20cms from the present to estimate
the height the tree will be after replanting.

Species and Varieties of Frangipanis
We stock the common frangipani rubra
varieties (tricolours, pinks, and a large number of whites).
We stock some rarer frangipani rubra varieties (yellow,
cerise and red).
We have the common white frangipani obtusa also known as
Singapore White.
We have the rare pink dwarf frangipani obtusa know as
Singapore Petite Pink.
We have the rare (but becoming very popular) frangipani
pudica (white).
The Easiest Frangipanis to Grow
The common rubra varieties (whites, tricolours and pinks)
have beautifully scented and colourful flowers. They are
deciduous so in winter they allow sunshine through to your house, lawn and shrubs. They are a hardier plant so they
can handle colder climates better than the other so called evergreen
varieties.

Frangipani Trees with
average to above average quality will be close to the above
prices however there are others factors to be considered.
When considering quality, we look to see if the tree is well
balanced, healthy, attractive and free from blemishes, has
think solid branches and trunk, has proportion and has a
nice tree shape with a wide canopy.
In the above table, you can see that a 1.6m frangipani tree
in a 75 litre bag is priced more expensively than a 1.6m
frangipani tree with the same number of branches and crowns
in a 45 litre bag. The trees in the 75 litre bags generally
have a thicker stem, longer branches and a wider canopy
which means they are a better tree and have a higher average
sales price.
The above prices are for the traditional frangipani
(species=plumeria rubra) with a white flower (this means a
yellow centre). Other varieties tend to be more
expensive.

Choosing a Frangipani Tree
Some people don't know what to look for when
choosing a frangipani tree. These following list includes
the main factors we consider
when determining the price of each tree so thinking about
these factors will be a good place to start.
-Plant height (this is the most common factor)
-Plant health (strength of stem and branches and rate of
growth)
-Plant shape (overall balance)
-Plant appearance (removed branches, fungus, discolouration
are unattractive)
-Plant size (thickness of stem and branches and number of
crowns)
-Rarity - (Generally speaking, the rarer the species the
more difficult it is for us to grow so we have to charge
more to make up for this. Evergreens (Singapore Whites) are
usually around 25% more
expensive than frangipani rubras.
Many people have in
mind a specific shape, be it no low braches or evenly spaced
low branches. Keep in mind however trimming and direction of
sunlight will determine the growth.
Unusual and
Rare Frangipanis
I assume that unusual plants which are attractive, including
unusual frangipanis, are generally more delicate, more
susceptible to disease and generally more difficult to grow.
My advice is - The more unusual the frangipani, the higher
the risk of a health problem but also the higher the reward
for success. If you are an enthusiastic gardener and a
gambler, you might like to go for a rare type of frangipani.
Bag
Sizes
We have frangipani trees in 45,
70/75, 100 and 150 litre bags.
Checking a
Frangipani Tree
Make sure no branches are soft or rotted and check to see
that tips are not black or broken off.
Do not be overly concerned with fungus on trunk or leaves.
While leaf discolouration and leaf deformities can be a sign
of lack of water or nutrients but this usually does not affect the health of the plant. After
purchasing and planting your frangipani, leaves can be cut
off or sprayed to allow the plant to produce beautiful new
leaves. After frangipani trees are planted into the ground,
they usually thrive straight away.
What
happens if you have another buyer for the same tree?
Until you pay a deposit, arrange a time to come
and look at or pick up your desired frangipani tree, we
cannot guarantee that someone else will not buy it before
you. Our stock is constantly turning over so we will help
find another one to your liking.
I need a frangipani
urgently. How soon can I collect one?
Contact us by phone any day of the week, 9am-8pm
to arrange delivery or pick up.
