My daughter is removing all toxic plants (and a few others from
where the pool is going ;-) from her new yard in St. Pete Beach.
One is a dwarf oleander. Aside from their total toxicity (roots,
stems, leaves, flowers and seeds), does anyone know of oleander
as a bonsai? This one is 4 feet tall and wide, and quite rugged
looking, and was planted in the 50s. We'll be there next weekend
.. . .
Oleander will JUST survive in lower zone 8; though I'd have to
give it more protection than I give most of the rest of my trees.
It is amazing how many tropicals can make you ill!
