Oleander -- did it make it through Winter 2014?

Darrell Nesmith

Oleanders are not common here in Little Rock; certainly not as common as I see in MS, LA, and TX. I have an oleander that's been in the ground for 4 years. This was the coldest winter here in 30 years. All of the leaves are brown and crunchy, but when I scratch the bark I still see green. Is it possible for this to come back? If so, how does it come back? Do new leaves sprout on the old growth, or will new shoots come up from the ground?
