Oleander with yellow leaves and brown spots

I have an oleander with yellow leaves with brown spots on it. It is blooming like crazy and my other oleanders are fine.

If the oleander is blooming well just enjoy the flowers. Once the blooms fade you can cut the shrub down by one half and see if the new growth comes back clean and spot free. If not remove the infected plant as it may be suffering from a viral infection. Hard to say for sure what the spots are from without a photo. It could be damage from a spray or hail or bacterial leaf spot infection. keep growing, Marianne Binetti
