Multi-branching plumerias

[Mikelzz]

I have two plumerias that are beginning to branch out with many buds at the same time ,, They always branched in 2 or 3 buds and now they are going crazy .

That's interesting.  Maybe it got damaged by something like frost?

^ That's a possibility for sure, though none i've ever seen - or have had- shown growth like this after cold damage.. Two other possibilities: damage -from some type of insect ( mites/ thrips.. Something capable of causing wonky growth, and/or capable of introducing a bacteria/ some other microscopic " bug " that causes deformity to the tissue ) , or, a Plumeria's idea of " Cristate " growth,  similar to what some forms of Cacti, Euphorbia, and/or other woody shrubs/trees can produce.

@Mikelzz you might e-mail a picture or two to either someone associated w/ the Plumeria Society, or one of the well seasoned growers/experts there in FL.  just to see what their thoughts might be. 

Unfortunately, my guess plants like this won't grow much/ produce much/ if any flowers so - unlike cristate forms of Cacti/ Euphorbs-, not sure if i'd keep it, or re-cut to encourage  normal re-growth/ development.

  thanks

actually that growth is why I would keep it... different

 

It has never been in a temperature below 52 degrees and the others around it are just fine
