Oleander bushes

Oleanders are widespread not just in Spain, but in the Mediterranean as a whole. Wear gloves if you are trimming or generally working on them. Plus long sleeved top. The sap can be a problem on the skin. Do not burn them . Pets generally avoid  them . Just need care that's all when trimming. 

As I said in my other post. Dont eat them. Simple

We had these at our villa and found that they were hard work needing pruning every year, dropping leaves and flowers and sticky sap everywhere.  We replaced them with Hisbiscus not so much work and just as pretty.  Also getting rid of the debrise from the pruning was difficult because of the poison.     

We never had any problems with oleanders and we had a dog and cat.  Rabbits don't eat them, and neither do goats in case you have a hedge of them around your garden near a goat path. Lots of plants are poisoness, el: Holly, Christmas Roses, Lantana, Carissa, Cotoneaster, Foxgloves ....

Oleanders do need hard pruning  after flowering as they can get 'leggy', but they make such are a pretty display that they are worth it!

Thank you very much for your reply 👍

I’m growing a big hedge out of Oleanders. I’ll happily have them trimmed a time or two a year for the coverage and the pretty flowers. If an animal is stupid enough to eat one, then it’s a pretty stupid animal.
