While I was out of town, my daughter had a pool party and she decided to cut the branches of my beautiful OLEANDERS because the branches were hanging everywhere, FULL OF BLOOMS, let me tell you how upset I am.

The branches are cut with about 12" of just stems sticking up, some were cut at the ground level.

How do I repair or trim to revive my beautiful OLEANDERS?

Lucky for you Oleanders are hardy enough to bounce back. Just keep them well watered and do some foliar feeding and before you know it, it will be big enough for your daughter to prune again.....I mean to have flowers.

P.S. If you are in Galveston or nearby, read the following -
You may want to baby it a little more. Look out for glassy-winged and blue green sharpshooters as they are vectoring a disease imported from California (oleander leaf scorch) that is doing very bad things. Bottom line, keep them as healthy as you can and keep plenty of orange oil on hand.
