Pest alert: Myrtle Rust information

A member asked me to look into this and as they seem to be asleep now I thought I better post the Information for all.

Trade implications – interstate import requirements
At the time of writing, Tasmania, Western Australia and South Australia have applied conditions and restrictions on the importation of products from the family Myrtaceae. As market access requirements may be subject to change, the requirements for all States and Territories should be checked prior to export.

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

G,day Brett apparently it was found in some cut flowers. So movement of the Myrtaceae, family cannot be exported to any where, but can be imported .

That is a relief we can still export to the Eastern states from here.

Cheers :D Pup
