Source of Oleander Clippings

[Guest guest]

I have found a tree trimmer, Mike, who will cut, wash, and ship,

enough oleander clippings to fill a 12 quart stew pot. After a 30

second contemplation, he says he will include shipping and handling

for a total of $55.00. He regularily trims oleander and has almost an

unlimited source. If anyone is interested, let me know, off line, and

I will give you the details. He wants to be paid via a money order,

or western union wire. He's a poor, humble guy, who eaks out a living

trimming trees and doing yard work, but is very honest, and has done

very good work for me personally. Ed

Hi All,

 

$55 seems a lot for what most people in my area regard as garbage. When I

posted an ad seeking oleander on Craigslist, SF Bay Area, I got so many offers I

had to turn most of them down. Someone even delivered 3 young plants, and I

gave her a few ornamental plants I had. I suggest people place their own ads

for free on Craigslist in any oleander-growing area, that means the south or

California, and offer a small amount of money or collectible trinket. A pot

full of oleander shouldn't cost you more than postage and a small gift.

Like everything, price determines on availability. In Minnesota,you can purchase a plant, which is $75.00 minimum.

 

$55.00 seems reasonable; pays the guy a decent wage; and we don't have to destroy an entire plant.
