| Maintenance Notes |
With its compact habit and lush coverage, Austin Pretty Limits oleander should need little to no pruning. If you do prune it, be aware that the white sap is toxic if ingested and can irritate skin in some people, so gloves should be worn and children and pets kept out of the area until the sap dries after pruning. |
