|
| Just moved into new house, a strange plant was growing under north side of house really close to house, moved said plant out under oaks near house. The plant is about 1 foot tall at this time and looks exactly like the Plumaria plant listed in Garrett's Plants for Texas-page 123-124, but without the bloom. Question? I really want to save this plant, is it frost tender? At first I thought it was a Mandrone, but the leaves look exactly like that pic - what to do? Am in Lampasas, and have no idea where the builder got the dirt the plant came from. TIA |

| In this area, plumeria is not frost tolerant as far as I know, but you are much further South, so it may be more tolerant in your area. Do a search on google if you don't get a positively for sure answer here. |

| I'll do that -thank you,but am still confused as to where it might have come from. Have lived a lot of my life in Texas and never have heard of this plant as being a native. |
