: : How do I take care of a really large plumeria tree? The leaves have turned a yellowish green... The tree looked great this weekend and today it looks like it is dying?
---but what if the tree is planted in the ground and you cannot bring it inside? in southwest florida? in a shady front yard?

: I only have one tree...but you have to bring inside in a dark place thru the winter...don't water it...all the leaves will drop off and it will go dormant. As temps rise in the Spring, water sparingly only when you see leaf buds ...Here in Zone 8/9, you can leave itin an unheated garage and it should be okay...otherwise, it needs to be protected from freeze...
