History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: Once again, decades of selective breeding has produced another winning dwarf plumeria! Jungle Jack is proud to introduce our first plumeria tree with an Ultra Miniature growth habit. It was in the development phase for quite a while so we could be sure it would bloom up to our standards...it does! Even in our Thai grove, this beauty is extremely dwarf growing, and sports vivid pink and yellow blooms. Ideal for small containers and balconies.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
