WHOLESALE MACADAMIA NUT TREES NURSERIES
The Macadamia nut tree is native to the subtropical areas of Australia’s east coast and is grown commercially not only in Australia but also in Hawaii.
It is a tree that requires a good deep humus rich soil to grow well and although you can grow them from seed it is grafted varieties that are used for commercial nut production.
Wholesale growers offer a number of improved varieties identified by numbers, including A4, A16, A38, 814, 849, 842, 660, 741, 246. Those with the letter A are Australian developed cultivars, the others are Hawaiian.
Some trees are upright in growth habit, others have a more spreading habit.
Different cultivars will produce nuts at different times from very earl through to mid and late season types.
For a small tree, best suited to home gardens, look for 814.
Macadamia nut trees will grow as far south as Melbourne, and even in the nearby hills. They will flower and produce nuts even in this cool environment.
