Hi buz,
If your macadamia tree is too big, prune it back by 1/3rd.
Then give it some fertilizer that is LOW in Phosphorus (P), HIGH in Potassium (K) and medium in Nitrogen (N). Spread it out to the 'drip line' plus a bit further, add some Dolomite and lots of composted cow manure, like moo poo. Cover this with a good mulch, and give it a good drink.
Macadamias are a rain forest tree, so make sure it's well and regularly watered.
(buz, don't forget you can go back on your own post and 'Edit' it, just like I'm doing with mine here:-) Just click on your post and hit the Edit button at the bottom:-)
