Some plants are more palatable to deer but when a deer is hungry or during drought conditions there are no "Deer Proof" plants. ). causing yellowish brown pustules to appear on both sides of the leaf. This leads to a loss of vigour in the plant and infected plants transmit the fungus. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively. . Pinus species are infects by the Comandra Blister-rust (Cronartium comandre). This process is called solarisation and kills remaining spores, When disposing of plants, small plants enclosed in plastic bags can be put in a normal waste bin - NOT the green waste bin.

The host tree changes to Pseudolarix species during the sexual stage and causes blistering of the leaves. Needle Rust (Melampsora farlowii) infects the new leaves turning them to yellow and fall from the shoot giving the branch a scorched appearance.

Since the discovery of myrtle rust in Tasmania in February 2015, three species of plants have been confirmed as being susceptible tothe fungal disease; Trillium species are infected by the rust (Uromyces halstedii) that damages the leaf surface. Rust spores can travel very long distances and may infect susceptible plants many kilometres from the initial site of infection. Area repellents rely on an offensive odour and are placed around areas that are frequently visited. This results in faster root development and less subject to diseases by fungi and bacteria. Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Callistemon and Thryptomrnes are just some of the plants represented and they are normally pollinated by insects, birds and in some cases by mammals. using a sterilised well-drained media (soil).
