maverick starts with ... Hello Friends: I was wondering if anyone is able to ID this Macadamia nuts from a pic. I live in southern California.I have a total of five large trees. Three were planted long time ago, and two I planted five or six years ago. I have always thought they were all Beaumount variety until in the past couple of years I've noticed quite a difference in in the nut size / shape/ smoothness of the new variety. Even the shell of the new variety is different. it is much thinner than Beaumount. I hope you can help me ID this variety. Thank you so much for your time.

Brendan says... G'day Maverick, For what it's worth, those 'unknown' macadamia nuts in your photo look exactly like my seed-grown macadamias. Even the shell of mine is thin. My seed-grown tree is ~ 25 years old, and the nuts are unreal :-) I live in Queensland, Aust., and when I was going to school "a long time ago", they were known as Queensland Nuts. I still call them that! Even the Aust. gardening bible, 'Yates Garden Guide', says they are also know as Queensland Nut :-) | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 17th September 2010 8:11am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |
