The Macadamia integrifolia, commonly known as the macadamia nut tree, is a beautiful medium-sized evergreen tree prized for producing the delicious macadamia nut. With its glossy green foliage and decorative, pendulous flower trusses, it is both productive and ornamental, making it a standout feature in Australian gardens. From late winter through spring, the tree bears intensely fragrant cream-white flowers that hang in elegant clusters. These blooms are not only attractive but signal the beginning of the nut development cycle. Macadamia nuts are slow to ripen, taking just over six months from flowering to maturity. Mature nuts naturally fall to the ground when ready and should be collected promptly to ensure freshness and prevent spoilage. The harvest period is long and rewarding, typically running from March through to June. Grafted varieties are strongly recommended for home gardeners and orchard growers alike. Grafted trees provide more consistent nut production, improved nut quality, and often begin bearing earlier than seed-grown trees.

Soil: Prefers moist, fertile soils with good drainage. 
Conditions: It is a hardy and easy-care tree best suited to sub-tropical to warm temperate climates.
Size: Height 5-10m x width 4-6m
