Aroma - A word used to describe the beautiful smell of frangipani flowers. Also scent, smell and fragrance.
Branches - In order to measure the quality of the canopy and volume of a frangipani, we often show the number of branches.

Cropped frangipani - A frangipani which has been cut off at the trunk or where all branches are cut off at the same height to reduce the size or improve the overall shape of the frangipani tree.
Crown - A frangipani tip is the end of the branch where growth occurs. Also known as branch end, head and tip.
 COB - A cut off branch. Sometimes branches are cut off half way down in order to remove a damaged crown or improve the overall shape of the tree. A COB can produce anything from one to ten or more new reshoots.
Cut off branch with reshoots - A COB which has produced new reshoots which will eventually grow into branches and cover the scar left from the cut. A COB can produce more branches than a natural fork but initially it is not as attractive.
Deciduous - Plants which drop all their leaves in the winter and produce new green foliage in the spring.
Dormancy - A period of inactivity to protect itself from the winter cold.
Drought resistant - A tree such as the frangipani which can survive on the moisture in the ground despite months of no rain.
Dwarf frangipani - A frangipani which grows to half the height of other frangipani trees. A maximum of 2 to 4 metres as apposed to 4 to 8 metres.
Evergreen - Plants and trees which keep their foliage (leaves) all year round. Evergreen frangipanis can still drop their leaves during winter in colder areas so semi-evergreen may be a more accurate term for them.
Established - Frangipanis which have been planted into the ground and had a year or so to allow its roots to extend into the surrounding soil. Established frangipanis do not need to be supported from falling to one side and do not need hand watering.
Fragrance - A word used to describe the beautiful smell of frangipani flowers. Also Aroma, smell and scent.

Foliage - The leaves on the plant or tree.
Genus - A group of plants with similar characteristics.
Plumeria (Frangipani) is a small genus of about 10 species.
Height - The height of our frangipanis are from the bottom of the bag to just over the highest crown and so not include the highest leaves. The measurement is the minimum height necessary for delivery so that the crowns do not rub against the ceiling.
Microclimate - The sunlight, heat, shade, precipitation etc. specific to a very small area.
Mature - Most nurseries stock frangipanis in 200mm and 300mm pots which are around 1m tall or shorter. Frangipanis larger taller than 1m and in 45 litre or larger bags are considered advanced or mature frangipanis. Frangipanis over 2m tall which are in the ground are in our exground category.
Obtusa - Also Singapore and evergreen. A frangipani species which includes Singapore white and Singapore petite pink.
Online shop - A website or subsite where visitors can view images of items, select items, enter postal addresses and contact numbers and place orders.

Perfect - A frangipani which has a smooth surface, has never been affected by fungus or insects and has never had branches removed can be considered a perfect or almost perfect frangipani.
Plumeria - Also frangipani. The genus (group) of plants with around 10 species.
Rot - A fungus which turns frangipani branches to black from inside out and can possibly spread far enough to kill the whole frangipani plant.
Root ball - After the roots of a frangipani fill the pot or bag, they will strengthen and hold the soil together. Roots should ideally be at this stage before transplanting them.
Rubra - The most commonly found frangipani species in Australia which is deciduous and has hundreds and possibly thousands of colour variations.
Scent - A word used to describe the beautiful smell of frangipani flowers. Also Aroma, smell and fragrance.
Seconds - Most frangipanis have at least one small blemish but some have major blemishes or too many for its size.
After reducing the price of a frangipani because of its blemishes or unattractive features, we put it in the "seconds" category.
We usually reduce the price of these "second rate frangipanis" by 20% to 50% depending on the blemishes and how long it has been unsold.
For some kinds of blemishes, there is a chance of losing a branch or a very small chance of losing the whole tree but almost all of these trees will grow normally. These second rate frangipanis will grow at the same rate as full priced frangipani and with time the blemishes will become less noticeable.
