Grows quite quickly but seems to be semi Decidious in our area. New growth is a yellow green but then darkens to a nice dark green. Fruit is abundant and does taste like peanut butter. Birds find it most attractive.

Pine Nut ^9/10

Amanda's Tips -

Inspired by the Ringing Cedars books written by Vladamir Megre. This tree will provide me with pine nuts, still a few years from harvest. Likes Victoria's weather and survived the long hot summer, budding now August 2009. Research pine nuts, they are so good for health and skin. My son's teenage acne cleared after taking pine nuts in his diet for six months.

A little coconut tree. I mulch it but that's all the fertiliser it gets. It grows like a little rocket.

Hi UncleFugu, Whay have you given it 1/10? Diana.

Dwarf Macadamia (Grafted)

BJ's Tips -

Planted in part shade position, well mluched, watered etc. Was doing okay, then I gave it Seasol and it seemingly got burned and quickly died. Will check before Seasolling again. But in its place is a native gardenia who absolutely loves the trouble spot.

Simpler's Joy's Tips -

Planted on nature strip to give it space to become a larger tree and keep away from other trees and veg which may be inhibited by it. In hot dry position so may struggle but seems happy so far. Going to focus on creating a good watering solution for it
