PLANTING FRANGIPANIS TOGETHER

Question

I have been given 2 rooted frangipanis – approx 2-3m high – and am wondering if I can bind them together at the root base and plant. Will this work, or am I only going to kill one or both of them in doing so?

Answer 1

You can do this I guess, although I am not sure why. Maybe you don't have space to plant both, or for a curiosity in appearance, like having different color flowers on what appears to be one plant?

I would say okay for short term expectations (5 year plan at most), but not the best idea for longer term growth without becoming problematic with structural issues and pruning maintenance.
