Frangipani Height Measurements

There are several ways to measure the height of potted and bagged frangipanis.

Wood Height

The “wood height” is the measurement from the top of the soil at the trunk to the top of the highest branch excluding the leaves and flowers. Even though the roots are a very important part of the frangipani, people often want to know how the frangipani will look AFTER it’s planted.

Clearance Height

The clearance height, or transportation height, is the measurement from the bottom of the bag or pot to around 10cms above the highest crown. This is the height necessary to stand the frangipani upright in a trailer, truck, van or other vehicle without the crowns being damaged by the ceiling. If the frangipani is too tall to stand upright, it’s possible to stand it on an angle and sometimes possible to lie them horizontally.

Actual Height

In summer, leaves can often increase a frangipani’s height by 30cms or more and even 50cm or more by long flower buds. Measuring long leaves or long flower buds is likely to increase a customer’s expectation and has the risk of disappointing the customer so we would hopefully say something like “around 1.5m including flowers but around 1.2. not including the flowers”.

    I hope you can create a YouTube channel and post some videos. I look forward to watching them.

  7. A fruit spotting bug ate the tips of my frangipani tree last month. I prefer to squash them with my hands rather than use chemical sprays.

  8. Don’t fertilize your frangipanis after January. They will grow great for a few month and then get winter damage.

  15. I’m looking for a 2 meter tall hammerhead frangipani for a job in Brisbane. Do you know where I can buy one?

  16. I went to Bali a few years ago and the frangipanis with huge gnarly trunks near the hotel pool were so amazing.

  18. Our frangipani tree was really struggling without sun so we got rid of the huge tree next to it and now it’s doing much better.

  19. I read about an old house with a big frangipani tree in front of it being renovated. The were inspired by the yellow and white flower to paint the house and picket fence yellow and white with success.

  20. We live in a house that was built in 1920. We have photos of the house being constructed and a frangipani about 1.5m tall near the house. That frangipani is now around 6 or 7 metres tall and, as it seems is more than 100 years old.

  21. Evergreen frangipanis hold their leaves better during winter but only if they are protected from the cold.

  22. I’ve hear you can plant a frangipani any time of year but best to plant them just before spring.

  23. My dog ate a branch off my frangipani. I was worried about her but shed didn’t even get sick. I think, thankfully, she didn’t swallow much.

  24. Shopping for frangipanis online is one the most fun products to look for online, don’t you think?

  25. We have moved house twice and moved our frangipani twice but unfortunately, it’s getting too big to move next time.

  26. A few months ago, I went to the beach with my wife and four year old daughter. Between the car park and the sand, there is a park with some frangipani trees. My daughter searched on the grass for the best shaped frangipani flower before putting one behind her ear. Whenever I talk about going to the beach, she asks “Can I look for frangipani flowers?”

  27. After you cut flowers off to put into a vase, dip the flower stem into icy cold water as soon as possible to make them lat longer.

  28. We recently replaced some twenty year old trees in our yard with some frangipanis. Should have planted them twenty years ago. LOL.

  29. We would like to plant an advanced frangipani tree as a feature tree in our front yard. How do we go about deciding which species and which flower colour?

  30. I’ve been collecting frangipanis for over 50 years. I now have 63 frangipanis in the ground on my property, and all have a different flower.

  31. One of my frangipanis died a few years ago. The interesting thing is that before I realized it was dead I thought it was going great guns because it had flowers on every branch. It’s amazing that a frangipani can be dead or dying and still make such lovely flowers.

  32. I bought a frangipani a few years a go from a different company. It was quite cheap but it was shorter than I expected and the flower was different to what I had ordered. Sellers should be clear about where they measure from.
