We are often asked "is this a weed?", so we are planning a weed identification guide for our website. What plant in your garden is giving you trouble? Are you wondering if it is a weed? We would love to see photos of your problem plants.

The best definition of a weed is that it is a plant in the wrong place. Any plant may be desired and manageable in one situation, (perhaps on the other side of the world:) and a problem in another situation.

Nevertheless, it is sometimes useful to know that a plant is known to be a problem elsewhere. If it is giving you unwanted work, you may not be the only one reconsidering its place in your garden.

In addition to the better-known weeds such as wild ginger, Tradescantia, pink jasmine, Japanese honeysuckle, privets and many others, recently in our clients' gardens we have learned of a few more plant species causing significant loss of space and damage to wanted plants in some local gardens.

One was Tecomaria capensis/Tecoma (aka Cape Honeysuckle, a common hedge plant with hidden runners, which if uncontrolled spreads new plants and also grows as a vine).

Another was Thunbergia vine. One of many different plant species around the world known as Black-eyed Susan, this one is a rampaging vine.

Below: Photos of a Tecomaria hedge on a street berm, where it is controlled by pruning. Any new plants shooting up in the grass would be mown down.

Auckland Transport are currently consulting on proposals for the public transport system over the next 8 years. As part of this they are proposing to cancel the Northcote Ferry Service from 2026!

🗣 Please have your say before Thursday 17 August: at.govt.nz...
➡️ There is a drop-in session at 9-11am Saturday 12 August, Northcote War Memorial Hall, 2 Rodney Road, Northcote Point.

Cutting the Northcote ferry service is really frustrating, as the service has been beset with so many cancellations, delays and non-arrivals due to driver shortages and weather, that many people no longer risk using it in case they get stuck at the wharf. Instead of cancelling the service, it should be improved.
I was part of a contingent of Kaipātiki Local Board members, Councillors and the local MP who convinced the AT board to fund the rebuild of the Northcote Wharf in 2018, after the old wharf was condemned. The new wharf finally re-opened in 2021 after being closed for 2.5 years.
However AT opted not to provide an all-weather wharf, which is what the Kaipātiki Local Board wanted (and offered to part fund). This has resulted in more cancellations than could have been had the wharf received proper investment at the time, but should not now be used to justify the closure of the ferry service.
