If you live in southern California, your oleander is doomed. There is a

blight that first appeared in San Diego County and is now seen at least

as far north as Ventura County. Oleanders are dying, and there is no

treatment yet that will save them. I already see dying oleanders in

Agoura Hills (LA County) and Thousand Oaks (Ventura County).

Isn't the oleander poisonous to pets and children? Am I thinking of the right plant? I had a tenant in the Valley once who asked me to take out an oleander on his front lawn.
