I have just done the rounds at my house and removed appr. 100 plumeria tips. A pretty depressing task. None of those will bloom this year. Pictured below is one of the ones that I will not see bloom.. :-(

I had a cup of rubbing alcohol and my trusty clippers. Anything that was turning black and caving in was ruthlessly removed about 6 inches below or until I reached white wood.

Note that I never reached FREEZING temperatures at my place. 35.6 was the lowest recorded. Goes to show you....
