Abstract:
INTRODUCTION

The biodiversity programme has been conducted at Invermay since 1989 (Halloy, 1992). One of the objectives is to introduce a range of new plants into New Zealand agriculture and horticulture, thus decreasing the dependence on a relatively narrow range of plants. The majority of plants has been introduced from areas of South America that correspond geographically and climatically to parts of New Zealand.

Averrhoa and gevuina are not new introductions to New Zealand, but their production potential has not been fully evaluated. Hillia may be a new introduction to New Zealand. The purpose of this paper is to describe research focused on determining propagation requirements for new plants from the biodiversity programme.
