Question & Answer

Good Morning.Please let me know if I buy a Macadamia Tree will I need 2 tree for fruit and how long before the tree will have nuts. Can I prune the tree at all for fruiting.R Johns From:

Under pollination on the item specifications it says "Beneficial" so it will produce nuts by itself but by having more growing together you can get better nut set. It is a seedling so it will take longer than grafted varieties to fruit however this means that it has a much deeper root system and will be more hardy. Perhaps 4-8 years. Yes they do not mind being pruned.

Do I need to have a male and female tree before I get any fruit? From: ST CLAIR NSW

No, they don't need Male & Female pollination and they do have nuts when growing just one. You can often get a bigger crop of nuts by growing other Macadamias close by.

Hi... How long before the tree will fruit ???Is it grafted, a seedling or a cutting ??Do I need more than one tree to cross pollinate ?? Cheers From:

4-8 years as it is a seedling. Pollination is beneficial so you will still get nuts without having another one. But if you get more than one you can get a bigger crop of nuts with pollination between them.

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me, can you grow a Macadamia Bush Nut in a pot, and if so, how big can they get? Kind regards Andrew Passlow From: RAYMOND TERRACE NSW

Macadamias can become very large trees. I would recommend a dwarf macadamia for a pot #DwarfMacadamia1608 You can however bonsai many things if you repot every 2 years with root and top pruning and regular feeding.

Hi there, I am looking to plant a macadamia tree in Melbourne. Could you please advise on most suitable variety and availability. Thanks Narelle From: NORTHCOTE VIC

Hi Narelle, the bush nut and the A4 are the most cold hardy #MacadamiaBush2768 #MacadamiaA924

Macadamia Bush Nut

They should cope with Melbourne cold, but may want supplemental water. Mine have survived -3C without protection or treatment. They are slower growing in the cold, but cope with 'mild' frost! | B - Trentham East, VIC 04-Jul-2017
