The grocery store I go to has 3 beautiful white plumeria trees alongside the escalator that goes into the store. I always love riding up and smelling the blooms and admiring how well shaped and healthy the trees are. Yesterday they had just pruned them and I thought it was kind of interesting. They cut the top way down but mainly in the center of the tree, leaving the leaves on the sides and flattening the top. It made sense to me, it would allow the sun into the center of the tree and is probably why they are always so full and not leggy.

I thought you guys might be interested so I leaned over the balcony at the top and took a couple pictures.
