A site member mentioned grafted plants in a conversation, and I wondered about that, what is the purpose behind grafting plumeria plants as opposed to growing rooted cuttings? I can see where if you wanted to save space and wanted differently-colored plumeria flowers on the same tree, but you'd have to know the growth habit of each graft-parent I think, or you could end up with a seriously lop-sided plumeria....
Is the purpose of grafting to have a plant with a root system? Are cuttings grafted to a rooted plumeria? I've wondered about this, and I've heard that a gentleman at FC, (who sadly is no longer with us) would graft plants for people, so I'm sure there's a good reason for doing so. Why do people graft plumeria, other than to maybe save varieties?
Thanks.
