Whangārei's Lynwood Avocado Nursery, an extensive nursery in Maunu, supplies up to 95 per cent of the country's avocado trees, is the first grower in Northland to sign up to the Plant Pass biosecurity scheme that was launched this month.
Plant Pass is the plant production sector's commitment to Ko Tātou-This Is Us. Ko Tātou is a Biosecurity New Zealand programme that demonstrates every New Zealander and sector has an essential role in biosecurity.
The multisector plant production biosecurity scheme already has about 40 nurseries registered with 10 fully certified, including Lynwood.
