Severe infestations can kill affected plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings. And it’s now in New Zealand – the first sighting has been reported in Kerikeri.

If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.
