Due to ongoing building work, I havent been able to plant a Plumeria in the ground for 3 years, and this one has been in a pot for that long. Now its finally in the ground it will take off, but Im wanting it to branch out. It has developed a single stem with 2 branches that reach 4 feet in total height now. Could anyone advise me wether I should leave it as it is and expect it to start branching further down the stem, or would this be a good time to cut it down by half to achieve a bushier plant in the future? Ive read the Stickies and i know what I can do, but Id just like someone to let me know from personal experience what they would do rather than leave it as it is now, only to have to cut it back in a couple of years to encourage branching
