Description for Plumeria ‘Rubra hybrid’, Champa

The tree itself is rather unusual in appearance; the 12 to 20 inch-long, coarse, deciduous leaves cluster only at the tips of the rough, blunt, sausage-like, thick and grey-green branches. In addition branches of plumeria are upright and rather crowded on the trunk forming a vase or umbrella shape with age. They are rather soft and brittle and can break but are usually sturdy unless they are mechanically hit or disturbed. The crown loses its leaves for a short time during the winter displaying the coarse-textured, stubby branches.

Besides a milky sap is exuded from the branches when they are bruised . Plumerias are tropical trees famous for their gorgeous flowers which are used to make leis (floral garlands). Moreover in regions with cold winters, plumeria can be grown in containers and brought indoors when the weather cools in autumn. Other common names are frangipani and Hawaiian lei flower.
