Not self-promoting other auction. someone has now pressed buynow, and has picked 1/2 of them up already. how can they be on weedbusters list when there are lots for sale on here. garden centre sells them too.

Weed status
The plant has been listed on various weed registers since 1996, and is currently declared by the Department of Conservation to be an "environmental weed".[2] It is found on public land administered by DOC, including Kapiti Island, and some efforts are made to control the plant.
A. praecox has been recognised for its invasiveness in the Auckland region since the 1990s.[3] The former Auckland Regional Council (now subsumed into the Auckland Council) classed it as a surveillance plant pest in 2007. In the 2011-2016 Regional Pest Management Strategy the Bay of Plenty Regional Council classes it as a restricted pest plant.[4]
There was an attempt made at adding A. praecox to the 2006 update of the National Pest Plant Accord (NPPA) but the application was declined.[5] The 2011-2012 update of the NPPA attracted debate when it was again recommended for addition.
