In attempt to help heal 2 of 3 broken plumeria branches, I taped them up securely last August. they seemed to do well, growing eaves and staying solid.
I un-taped them this week. They didn't take. Sad Here are some pictures to show what is happening. The 4 ft tree has been indoors for a few weeks and showing no signs of leaf drop or dormancy. All three branches including the broken ones have some leaves, not many. But they all grew rapidly after shipment. The 2 half-detached branches are discolored now, have a few roots emerging, and are solid not mushy. Can I leave them be, attached to the plant until this spring when I will let them callous and plant them into the ground? Or do they need to be cut off right now?
