This is an impressive tree, nice architecture, however it drops lots of seeds, flowers, leaves. I would not recommend it to be
planted in urban contexts. Particularly if surrounded by pavement, side walks and so on. Besides that, is a wonderful
tree not over used in Puerto Rico.
I have just recently started cuttings from this plant. I do have a positive feeling that they will take . I am also waiting on seeds to dry enough to plant. I will comment on them when they are further along.

Our Mexican Oleanders have continuously bloomed peachy-apricot flowers since we planted them this spring. They have already grown to 4-6' high, & have well developed canopies. Two-inch, lantern-shaped seed pods fall off the tree while green then turn black. I wear gloves to clean up beneath the trees, as the pods are supposed to be the most poisonous part of plant.
The foliage is a striking yellowy-green. The plant seems to love our HOT, very windy, weather, & poor to moderate soil. Doesn't spread like regular Oleanders and can be easily shaped with pruning. Insects, fungus, and salty air don't bother them either. I've heard propagation is usually by cuttings, but I'm going to try seed also.

An attractive small (about 12 feet) tree or shrub with yellow, bell-shaped flowers mostly in summer and fall, but on and off year-round. It may be grown as a shrub. A good accent plant for small areas but it is poisonous like the oleander it resembles, so it is not suitable for homes with small children.
