If you have a tree with these berries be aware that they are toxic to animals. There is a report in the Press that they have killed 3 dogs this week in Auckland. The article said that they are a North Island plant but they are here in Christchurch. Hens will eat the berries and they go of the lay for about a week.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
