I know! I know! The day I will have to cut them down is coming. And I will do the least amount of cuts so I'll be rooting trees it is as mentioned in the Sticky about "How Big of a Cutting Can You Take" and suggested by @Gigiplumeria. Once they stop blooming, if you all think it's not too late by the end of August, I will do the dirty deed. The NOID White is not a profuse bloomer. It blooms for a month or two. Unlike my NOID Orange that has been blooming nicely since May.

In the mean time, I have searched and found that using cinder blocks on 4 corners, that is if round pots have corners, helps keep them stable in any wind. I can place the younger plumeria on top of the cinder blocks. Did you know one cinder block weighs about 30 lbs! They will be easy to store in the winter, just being stacked on the side of the house. As luck would have it last week a good friend asked me if I had any use for his extra 14 cinder blocks. Yep! I do! Thumbs up I will pick them up tomorrow.
