Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi Pat, I live in Oakland. I have not seen it growing wild here. I was planning to head to Yuba City, north of Sacramento. I used to live in Yuba City where it's used extensively for hedges. If you could point me to a closer source, I'd be grateful. And be happy to ship raw oleander to anyone who wants some, if I find a closer, clean source. Rhoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Rhoda,Well. I live in Oakland too. Since we have the world's most perfect weather, almost everything grows here. I took a walk in my neighborhood and saw many flowering shrubs - but no oleander. I have seen it in highway medians but that is out - too polluted. When I lived in Harbor Bay in Alameda (almost 20 years ago) it was used in public areas but I don't know what their policy is now about spraying.I like Renee's idea of requesting some on Freecycle.org. We have four groups nearby.PatRhoda Mead <firefly541 wrote: Hi Pat, I live in Oakland. I have not seen it growing wild here. I was planning to head to Yuba City, north of Sacramento.
