One of our small plumeria trees has a terrible problem with white spots on the leaves.  They curl, wilt, and drop.  Any advice appreciated.

Looks like a fungus. An agricultural supply store should have an appropriate antifungal spray. If you can't find that, try vinegar on a few leaves and see what happens.

Hope you can save it. Plumeria flowers have the best and the most fragrance.

If vinegar does t work you can also try baking soda. Mix about a teaspoon or two into a liter of warm water. Add a squirt of mild dish detergent (helps the solution stick to the leaves). Spray n pray.  Lol

He shouldn't need a chainsaw for Plumeria. But if it starts to spread to the other Plumerias and treatments don't work, eliminating the infested plants would be sensible.

Other plants and trees look okay so far.  We really want to save this plumeria because the blossoms are pink instead of white.

You should treat all the Plumerias proactively. This sort of thing can be difficult or impossible to see in the initial stages.
