Oleanders:  How much water?  I have a row of standard size planted about 10 feet from house and next to neighbors wall.  Direction is SE.  They get mostly AM sun.  They are across from my kitchen window sink.  They were planted almost two years ago, and are growing well.  I have heard that Oleanders will seak out water pipes.  Is this true?  They have a bubbler head about every two plants.  Poeple are telling me to get rid of them because they are water hogs (and poison).  I am very happer with them but do want to cut back on watering.  What are the facts?
