Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions
BRIEF: Is my tree poisonous?
QUESTION:
We have a nice big green tree that has pretty white flowers on it. My
neighbor says its a holliander tree, and that it is poisonous. Is she right?
ANSWER:
Do you mean Oleander? If so, your neighbor is right, it is quite poisonous.
Probably why it is so popular as an ornamental...few pests survive if they try
to eat it and it is drought resistant, too. Be sure to educate any children and
restrain any animals about this tree, it can stop a heart with a few leaves.
