Myrtle rust could explode this spring.

Ministry for Primary Industries

If you see myrtle rust, please don’t touch it – report it!

Myrtle rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga trees such as pōhutukawa and mānuka. It absolutely thrives in spring, making it much easier to spot.

Help us track myrtle rust and control its spread.

DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT.

Take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

Thanks for helping us fight myrtle rust.
