Is this one cold hardy?
No, don't misinform people. Oleanders cannot resist snow and icy weather. I live in Canada and during late fall and all the way to late spring, I have to keep my oleanders indoors. Even if you keep them in the garage, they will die unless the garage is heated.
I would like to know how to kill an oleander shrub… i cant seem to keep it in check and the roots run on the surface of the grownd
If only you people really knew about this plant. It's extremely poisonous.
Talking head.

Let me guess leaf scorch bacterial disease.I love oleanders.I am starting cuttings in water I hope mine don't fall victim.
We have Oleanders out here in AZ. They are all over the place. No shortage of them here.
Im getting frustrated CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO PRUNE THEM, NO ONE EXPLAINS IT IN DETAIL, I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO PRUNE MINE, I just planted a "Red Hardy" Oleander and It is a long shoot with leaves at the top
any chance its the oleander caterpillar causing disease ?
that bull dog face, thanks for the advice sir
We had a spell of hot weather last month that brought out a plague pf aphids that attacked my new oleander. Had to cut it back. No flowers this year it seems.
Just cut them where you want more shoots to grow they regrow very quick in tropical climate ,cold climate cut after flowers die
how did this video got so many dislikes?
probably the chem trails killing the oleanders. used to find one gallon containers of them for less than 10 buck here in AZ. No more. Now every container is about 30 bucks.
