Plumeria

Question

I cut back my Plumeria plant to about 12 inch fro m the soil. The stems are firm and smooth. I do not see any new growth this Ohio Spring/Summer.

Answer 1

If these are in ground, or were unprotected from the Winter, then they are certainly dead.

These are tropical to subtropical, and will not usually survive below zone 9. Your area is zone 6 and is way out of their native range.

Here is an article for more information on the the plant:
