Myrtle rust

Here's a photo of a disease we've been asked to watch for. It's bad news in Australia and we don't want it here. Spores may well blow across the Tasman in a good breeze.

Call 0800 800 401 or 0800 246 732 for Cambridge contractor Ben Elliot.

The Regional Council's biosecurity team will assist and/or advise on any suspected 'Plant Pests'  Details of some of these plants, including photos, can be found under the "Plants" heading at the top of this page.
