Moaning Myrtle

In their last meeting, EnviroKura looked around the school for Myrtle Rust. Myrtle Rust is a fungus that is destroying feijoa, pohutukawa, manuka, and rata. It has supposedly been blown from Australia and it’s appearance is powdery dots of bright yellow/orange fungi which can be found on the underside of leaves. If you see any of this plant fungus at school or in the local environment please inform a teacher or call 0800 80 99 66.
