IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Our air-layer/grafted trees should flower around February, early spring and fruit in the fall late September.
Method of propagating new trees from previous producing trees. (Alike, but a different process than grafting).
We find air-layering is preferred. The process is much faster to propagate our trees and we have had great success.

Well-drained, sandy soil.
Each tree, when mature, should produce about 40-50 pounds of nuts per year!
About 4-5 years.

Macadamia trees withstand temperatures as low as 28 degrees F. If there is going to be a freeze, younger trees and even mature trees are recommended to have Christmas/hang lights or an outdoor heater nearby to avoid freeze
Once some nuts hit the ground (and are still green) or begin to turn slightly brown on the branch. If you break them off; it should snap like a lime.
Husk them while they are green. Cut and peel the husk off (this should be easy). Next, set in a dry room for about 14 days. Lastly, to crack, use a C-clamp, Vice grips, or hammer to crack (or bring nuts to us for a small fee and we will husk and crack for you ☺).
These questions will be answered once you purchase a tree and receive our Macadamia Care Sheet, we will provide you with.
