Probably another one that needs a warmer climate. I'm in SE QLD. My neighbour has two trees and using seeds from his I've grown dozens of seedlings. Gave most of them away but have 3 growing in my edible hedge. Full sun, fully exposed to the wind, watered weekly, doing well.

Macadamia Nut Tree (Seedling)

Comments: -

I planted 3 years ago in the front yard which is west facing getting full sun. It's doing very well.  It has survived 2 wet cold winters.  It has not produced any nuts yet, it's still very young.  I give it seasol twice a year, spinkle cow manure once a year and have also spinkled some slow release fertilizer.
