Have you seen THIS naughty weed?
This is moth plant pod. It is an invasive pest weed. It wraps around and strangles other plants.
It has a poisonous milky substance inside (don't touch it! Or get it on your clothes!) .
Click HERE to find out more about this plant.
Not to be confused with choko - a yummy vegetable ...
the leaves look quite different too - moth plant pod has slightly curled leaves.
✅
Our school is in a local competition to get rid of as many of the MOTH PLANT POD as possible. ✅ The school that collects the most pods WINS!
Last year we came third. We have already made a fantastic start in the competition (which finishes early May) and collected nearly 2000!

| Here is Jade, one of our champion collectors! (Also in the 2021 team!) |
If you see any of the Moth Plant Pod weeds let us know - email Miss Long b.long@howickprimary.school.nz
