We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’. Well, it’s payback time!

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

The visitor is the native Kowhai Moth Caterpillar, and it has been known to completely strip a Kowhai tree of all its foliage. Unless the tree is very young, in most cases there is little long-term damage to the tree. Nature is pretty awesome and the tree will soon produce masses of fresh new growth, but it might be a little unsightly for a few weeks.
Sometimes I will give the tree a good shake, and the little critters will just fall off and give the tree a reprieve. You can use neem oil if it’s proving to be a major problem, but don’t worry too much, Kowhai trees and the caterpillars have been living together for many years.
How much do you know about how a tree grows?
