I have some plumerias that I've let get too tall. I looked thru the ""sticky, but haven't seen where the best place is to cut back....and if now is a good time to cut....and will the end pieces bloom this year??? This one is an example of how the others look. Should I cut each of the main 3 branches approx. where the supporting stick is? 'Then place the cuttings in warm sand to root? We're thru with winter here, but having severe thunderstorms with wind and hail. Most of my plumerias are in pots, but I do have some tall ones that I replant each spring. They look pretty pitiful this year, so would like to cut them back to a more manageable height. Can anyone help me?
