The first picture shows a dead kanuka in lower right and an unhealthy well-established plant in centre, several years old. There appears to be a lethal attack on the kanuka (all other plant spp in this extensive restoration appear very healthy) - mortality/weakness could be caused by other factors such as pot bound plants, drought etc (see next records). This is a very well-managed restoration site of about 10 years with a high degree of weed control through mulch and herbicide, and irrigation when required. The other pictures show high density of infestation on stems and twigs. the last few pictures of an otherwise healthy branch with new infestation. There are frequent young seedlings of kanuka from these adults in the mulched beds between the planted specimens.
