Macadamia h2 - no nuts

4 responses

Melliejane starts with ... I bought a Daleys h2 seedling in 2008, 8 years ago, but no sign of flowers or nuts. It is advertised as "good for marginal climates", and I assumed ok for south coast NSW. But, no flowers or fruit! Any ideas? The tree is now 3m high and looks healthy, in full sun.

Melliejane says... hi Markmelb - I get you, but it's a big 3m-tall tree now. And still no flowers! I read it can take over 7 years, so maybe I should be a bit more patient :)	About the Author Melliejane Mossy Point 27th September 2016 2:54pm #UserID: 14643 Posts: 4 View All Melliejane's Edible Fruit Trees

Markmelb says... What I was hinting at was to get an A16 Cutting tree - plant near other - and by the time that comes into flower your seedling may also in 3 years and cross pollinating will give you lots more nuts - A16 is a smaller CV that can handle wind quite well - cheers.
