Spring is here - Look out for Myrtle Rust

Ministry for Primary Industries

Myrtle Rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga myrtle trees such as ramarama, pōhutukawa, mānuka and bottle brush. It has been dormant over the winter months due to the lower temperatures, but with spring now here Myrtle Rust could thrive and become easier to spot. If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Take photos and call MPI immediately on 0800 80 99 66. Find out more
