Trimmed an oleander- will the cut green branches harden into useable stakes?

Just trimmed a large oleander and wondering if the cut branches will harden up to be used as plant stakes, they're green and very pliable right now. If so, I'll keep some and let them dry- thanks!

Yes, but...

Don't burn the stakes when finished or let pets or others chew on any...because it is toxic.:eek:

Whoa good to know, thanks Meadowlark! Happy to hear they can be dried and used, I'm running out of bamboo stakes!
