Winterizing your plumerias
I recently gave this presentation to the South Coast Plumeria Society in Anaheim. I was tasked with addressing the challenges of winter, but decided to cover fall, winter, and spring. My observations come from growing plumerias for almost 20 years in southern California, which is a temperate/Mediterranean climate. Many of the principles apply to all climates, but you can adapt the suggestions to your own area.
Since this was a spoken presentation, it’s hard to get everything in the notes on the PowerPoint slides. So if you have questions, post them below and I’ll answer them.
I’ve broken the presentation into 4 parts, so there isn’t one huge PDF download:
