Question

I had just recently learned that oleander is a good way to get gophers to exit the yard/garden. I now am trying to root white oleander branches, I put rooting hormone on several of the cuttings and planted the cutting in different types of medium. I had also put one of the cuttings in water. What have you tried to use to get rid of gophers?

Answer 1

When I was a boy, my father would bait it out with peanut butter on a cracker, then climb up on my swing set and wait with his 22 rifle.

Answer 2

They are barely cold hardy here in Dallas, I think your NM winter may do them in. The whites are the most cold hardy, so that is a plus for you. As @MizJ state they are toxic, so any waste should never be burned or composted.

Answer 3

My killer cat. kimbo kill two gophers in one day.

Answer 4

All parts of the oleander plant are toxic. Use care when handling and keep pets away. They are beautiful and fairly carefree when established. I never tried taking cuttings from them.
