Watched Your Video On Oleander. Ours Has Never Been Trimmed, So It Is Over 20’ Tall.

Question

Do we trim it back to the ground or not quite so much. All the leaves have fallen off due to the freezing temps we sustained. The previous homeowner never pruned it. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We don't have an oleander video so I hope the one you saw was helpful. You can cut oleanders back severely but since yours is stressed, you should prune a bit at a time over several years. Here is how:
