Drop and Learn: Myrtle Rust Survey

Myrtle rust (Puccinia psidii s.l.) is a fungus that affects plants in the family Myrtaceae. It is a plant disease from South America and arrived in New Zealand from Australia in 2017.
Our team at Auckland Botanic Gardens have been keeping an eye on the disease which affects much-loved native species like Pohutukawa and threatened ones like Rata Moehau.
