Funkytown Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'll try to be as welcoming as others have been to me! Welcome to the forum Scalare! I'm a newbie, so I can't answer your question, but there seems to be a wealth of knowledge here if you need to tap into it. Good luck!

Caryl Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Welcome to the forum (that you Marcel?). Water lettuce is illegal in NZ and it will grow that far south as I know someone who had it in a shed where he breeds turtles in Timaru. He tried to get rid of it by telling MAF he had it (figuring they would destroy it for him) but they came around and said "That doesn't look anything like the pictures we have, it isn't water lettuce" and left again. So he was stuck with it. This was many years ago so I don't know if he still has it as he was going to destroy it by burning it. He was well aware it was water lettuce, no matter what MAF said.
