Oleander seem to be the most widely grown shrub in Greece.
Mine are self seeding in the garden. I need to get rid of most of them.

Oleander is very widely grown in California, also. It's so widely grown along the freeways, and was exclusively used as a freeway divider.

Oleander in CA. has been attacked by the Oleander Leaf Scorch which is killing shrubs all along the southern U.S., however, there's so many varieties (some may be resistant to this bacterial disease) which grow here. There's many dwarf forms which only grow to 3ft/1m - 6ft/2m., these are widely grown at shopping centers.

how very beautiful

That is a really, really nice one!...is it the culprit, by any chance...?

Yes Karen,,,,,this is the one!!! Hubby took care of half the problem. One more days work and all done.

Sad...but necessary...!

Thank you Stickitoffee.

Oh no Karen,,,,we didn't chop it down (yet), he needs it for shade. OH placed wood around the base of the tree and then he's adding a net over the pen to keep the flowers out.

Oh! What a good solution...just making it dogproof! :))
