There are many ways of identifying harakeke. The more 'scientific' and the 'simple'.
Depending on the project you want to do, you need to find harakeke that is best for the job.
For instance if you want to make simple kete - ' basket', then find a harakeke that has soft and pliable qualities. If you want to make some aho -'rope', then you need to find harakeke that has very good muka - 'fibre', in it.
It always pays to try the harakeke first.
