Introduced Australian brushtail possums destroyed the large fleshy inflorescence of the endemic New Zealand nikau palm by browsing the flowers and eating through the base of the spadix. During 1978-83, when possum numbers were high, only one of nine nikau in a small area (8 ha) of podocarp/mixed hardwood forest fruited successfully. Eradication of possums in 1984-85 resulted in successful fruiting by all trees.
