Hello Dave Gardeners,
I have another problem, this time with an Oleander tree.
The leaves are turning black . I have been told that , "it just happens, just cut it back", but I would like to know why.
I have sprayed it a couple of times and trimmed it, but it continues.
There is an asparagus fern growing at the base of it and I am starting to wonder if the roots of the fern could be choking the oleander out. Both have been planted for a few years now.
The roots of an asparagus fern are fierce-to say the least .
Could I dig out part of the fern without hurting the Oleander????
Any suggestions

Thanks,Mary
