This comes after the first finding of the fungal plant disease in the Auckland region last week in the Waimauku area of west Auckland.
Myrtle rust is a fungus that attacks and can potentially seriously affect myrtle species plants including some significant natives such as pōhutukawa, ramarama, mānuka and rātā.
What to do if you see myrtle rust:
Initial symptoms are powdery, bright yellow or orange-yellow pustules on leaves, tips and stems.
Report any signs of the distinctive yellow fungus to MPI on 0800 80 99 66.
Do not touch the plant or the rust, as this may spread it.
If possible, take a photo of the plant and yellow patches and send the photo to MPI.
