Macadamia G6 (Cutting)

Comments: -

This is the so called Home Beauty G6 Macadamia

Planted Cutting which I think may be a Birdwood plant? Has kicked on well with several flushes already

2nd year in it has stopped growing height but is thickening up and growing branches - leave down low are quite long and some grow weird and twisted but leaves are getting smaller towards the apex - anyone know what causes gnarly twisted leaves? could it be bugs munching new growth as leaves form?

Worked out twisted leaves are due to cold but has acclimatised now and is holding 20 nuts March 2019 photo - tree seems to have topped out at 4.5 to 5mt which it is supposed to.do? Lets see? 2020 should be a way bigger crop?

Planted: 2013

Pollination: Cross Pollination

Question:

Anybody know what causes  Macca leaves to grow twisted and Gnarley looking??

Hi Mark - I've found the same on my dwarf macadamia - new leaves definitely look variegated. Grateful it's not just me!

Use a low phosphorus native fertiliser will help Mindy1

Early days still, establishing itself. Good growth and stood up well to the blistering heat of the 2008 summer, while it got a little scorched it recovered very quickly
