Looking for all the world like a gorgonzola cheese are these cross sections of hardwood piles taken from temporary piles at Picton. They have been attacked by a shell fish called teredo, which have a penchant for hardwood. The piles were driven only four years ago. Mr Eric Ensor, forester with the New Zealand Forest Service, holding the wood, says that experiments at Picton on treated timbers produced in Blenheim are meeting with great success. The shell fish bore into the piles and live there, but gain their food from the water.
