Jungle Jack is one of the most well-known names in the modern Plumeria world. According to their own statements, the nursery’s history began as early as 1986 with a small package of seeds from Hawaii; this later developed into a large collection and breeding work. John and Christina Ingwersen founded Jungle Jack’s in 1995 in California, originally focusing on palms, cycads, and other exotic plants. Today, Jungle Jack is especially known for its Plumeria cultivars, including many compact-growing and collectible varieties.

The international structure is also exciting: there is a strong presence in the USA with a location in Vista, California, as well as an official branch of Jungle Jack’s Thailand, which describes itself as the Thai offshoot of Jungle Jack’s, Inc. from the USA. There, an important focus lies on miniature and grafted Plumerias as well as cuttings.

Jungle Jack’s strong presence in Europe is evident, especially by how widespread and sought-after the varieties have become here. Many well-known cultivars from the Jungle Jack Collection have secured a firm place internationally among collectors and enthusiasts.
