Compare with the photos and article "Oleander leaf scorch (OLS) " at

http://cals.arizona.edu/PLP/plpext/diseases/trees/oleander/oleleaf.htm

OLS has been more prevalent in North Central Phoenix, less so in other 
areas.  Recommend you bring a specimen to the Master Gardener Office in the 
SCW P.O.R.A. building for a positive ID.
