Tell that to the folks in west L.A. who's kids crewed on some Oleander leaves
and died within hours.

Oleander is commonly grown and pruned to tree forms.

All stories of human poisonings appear to be anecdotal, but you knew
that

Did you do a google search for "Nerium oleander" and toxic plants?

"Nature, left alone, is in perfect balance.
Harmful insects and plant diseases are always present,
but do not occur in nature to an extent which requires the use of poisonous
chemicals.
The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy crops in
a healthy environment."

Masanobu Fukuoka, One Straw Revolution--1978
