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.

Question:

Dwarf Macadamia (Grafted)

Comments: -

Recommended for a small backyard, but extremely slow growing. Overhung by other plants now so probably not getting as much sun as it needs.

Little worried about the dogs swallowing the kernels and causing an obstruction. At the rate that this one is growing the dogs will be long dead and fertilising underneath it before it gets any kernals.
