Barb, a week ago or so I sprayed a couple of rosettes but not flowering / fruiting stems; the sprayed rosettes should now show treatment (yellowing). Participants of the bird walk informed that there are PC at the lower part of the Fair project site probably hoping that somehow PC will miraculously disappear; I suggested follow-up and weed patrol (PC as well Serrated Tussock) at the inner Fair project site at FoMM's last meeting.
