If we have a wet year we get the dreaded Glassy Winged Leaf Hopper.
They carry a bacterium (Xylella fastidiosa
) that wiped out 9 of my 10 oleander bushes.
Oleander leaf scorch.
That is the only place I saw them that year and before the year was up I cut back and pulled every one of them up but the uninfected one, it is the only one that survived.
No cure for it.
Off to the trash they went.
