Oleanders can be pruned nearly anytime during the year. Spring pruning may reduce some flowering as buds develop on the branch tips, but it will not hurt the plant. In fact, oleander respond well to severe pruning. Even large plants (except tree oleander) can be cut to near the ground and they will regrow. This severe, rejuvenation pruning may be necessary if plants have grown to large and leggy.
Most pruning is done just to maintain shape. Keeping it pruned will result in a bushier, more heavily flowered oleander.
If ingested, any part of the plant is toxic. The green leaves are not very palatable, but dried leaves seem to be somewhat more palatable. Care should be taken to clean up all clippings.
How and when do you prune the plant, Oleander?
any time after it is done flowering.
Reply:Prune any time you have a need. Remember to wear gloves, long sleaves, as oleander is a deadly plant. Every part is highly toxic to pets and humans. You can cut it back almost to the ground and it will come thicker and better than ever. Be safe.
Reply:harder you prune,more vigorous growth,indestructable,anytime is ok
