Re: Hymenosporum flavum (Native Frangipani)

Well, I'm no expert, but I bought one recently, and it was called an
Australian  Frangipangi so I doubt it's native here.  I'm wondering by
the way if I've panted it in the wrong place.  It could shade the house
too much if it gets as big as I've read it can.  Can I keep it smallish
(say up to 4 m) or should I move it before it gets established there. 
I'm in Marlborough, so it's not rainforest climate.
