Animals aren't the only pests, the hills around Wellington for example are filled with gorse, a horrible, horrible plant.
Would definitely like to send a Terminator back thru time to eliminate the fools who brought it.
- vince_refiti 12y agoGorse, as I understand it, was brought to New Zealand to be used as fencing between farm fields.
- duckmannz 12y agoI understood it was also because of the pretty yellow flowers and that it didn't grow so well in western Europe
- talideon 12y agoIt grows plenty well in western Europe.
- merrua 12y agoThis seems likely since it was used for that back in the UK. Also the flowers were used for making dye.
- haydenchambers 12y agoThere's another pest in the Wellington hills that needs eradicating but they're mostly concentrated in the Beehive
- mark-r 12y agoI was quite taken by the hillsides that were completely covered in bushes with bright yellow flowers. I asked what they were, and was surprised to find out they were an invasive species. Sure were beautiful though!
