Wild kiwifruit vines, classified as a pest plant, have been spotted on 39 sites in Golden Bay in an aierial survey.
While the fruit grown in controlled conditions is prized, wild vines can smother native trees and degrade plantation forest. In some North Island areas, wilding kiwifruit have become a reservoir of diseases such as the bacteria Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa).
Kiwifruit Vine Health operations and compliance officer John Mather on Tuesday said Psa was estimated to have cost the kiwifruit industry about $1 billion since 2010.
“But to our knowledge ... Psa it is not in the South Island,” Mather said.
Wild kiwifruit is classified as a pest in the Tasman-Nelson Regional Pest Management Plan 2019–29. Occupiers of land with wild kiwifruit are required to destroy the vines.
It was Kiwifruit Vine Health that largely funded the recent aerial survey in Golden Bay.
Tasman District Council biosecurity and biodiversity team leader Guinevere Coleman said the focus of the survey was on Golden Bay, which was known to have some wild vines.
