There is such a thing as zone 8 citrus. LOL. Take a look at some of the fruit, http://www.plantfolks.com/index.html.

Every oleander I see around here gets burnt during the winter or the oleander moths do a job on it. My big problem with that plant is every part of the plant is poisonous. If burnt it gives off toxins, it can also poison water. I wouldn't plant it. The only ones I've seen do well are on a causeway planted on the side of a road maybe 10 ft from the ocean. They always bloom great and for some reason they seem to be pest free.

Those moths love my butterfly bush.
