Joe Martin, noxious plants officer, stands below a plumeless thistle to show its dreadful height. He is concerned that the weed is making its way into the Waimarino and urges farmers to report sitings to enable control measures to be undertaken to prevent it establishing in the area, as it has done in the northern Ruapehu District. The thistle is regarded as a serious problem in the north. It is a biennial and is very difficult to distinguish from nodding thistle in its rosette stage, but has smaller flower heads which stay erect and it tends to grow taller than nodding.
