It thrives across tropical and subtropical Queensland, northern NSW, coastal Sydney with warm aspects, and warm protected positions in coastal Western Australia. It is not suited to frost-prone or cold-climate gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eIs Plumeria rubra acutifolia frost tolerant?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eNo. Plumeria rubra acutifolia is not frost tolerant and cannot survive sustained frost. In cooler climates it should only be grown in a heavily protected microclimate or in a large pot that can be moved under cover through winter. In frost-prone areas it is best avoided in favour of more cold-hardy alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eIs it drought tolerant?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes. Plumeria rubra acutifolia is highly drought tolerant once established, reflecting its origins in seasonally dry tropical climates. Through establishment it benefits from regular deep watering, then transitions to occasional deep soaks through warm dry periods. Established trees handle extended dry periods with no irrigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eDoes Plumeria drop its leaves in winter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes. Plumeria rubra acutifolia is deciduous through winter, dropping its leaves through the cooler months and standing as a sculptural branching form before regrowing fresh leaves in spring. The deciduous winter form is one of the most distinctive features of the tree and lends itself beautifully to architectural garden settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eIs White Frangipani coastal tolerant?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes. Plumeria rubra acutifolia handles salt-laden coastal winds and sandy free-draining soils with ease, and is one of the signature trees of warm Australian coastal gardens. It performs reliably in direct beachfront positions provided drainage is good and the climate is warm enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow do I care for Plumeria rubra acutifolia?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003ePlumeria rubra acutifolia is very low maintenance once established in the right position. Water through establishment, then sparingly. Light shaping can be done in late winter while the tree is dormant. Apply a light slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support new growth and flowering, and protect young plants from frost in marginal climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Evergreen Trees Direct","offers":[{"title":"75L","offer_id":46619309473991,"sku":"PLUACU75","price":560.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100L","offer_id":46619309506759,"sku":"PLUACU100","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.evergreentrees.com.au\/products\/plumeria-rubra-acutifolia-white-frangipani","provider":"Evergreen Trees Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
