I always thought Macadamia nuts were native to Hawaii, until today, chick I'm subbed too, was the one who told me they're native to Australia and thanks to you Gary, I now know what a Macadamia Tree looks like, beautiful and their flowers equally as beautiful and even more attractive given their fragrant aroma they give off. Uprated and greetings to ya from Mexico! :)

Gary, I have one in Santa Ana. I get large 1" plus size and smaller. Lucky for me I have a 7 ton punch press to husk and crack with. A squirrelinater trap works but not near the tree you need to place the trap on the squirrel trail leading to the trees.

Macs are native to tropical rain forest of Queensland. They can survive with little water but crop will be poor quality and low yielding. They need regular irrigation once nuts are getting set till the harvest. I would guess you are growing seedlings. Plant grafted tree of a good variety that produce good size and quality nuts e.g. Beaumont or James. If you want to crack nuts with bare hands - plant Vista. If you are close to San Diego area you can find Linda in local nurseries.

Interestingly enough the Agriculture Department at University of California tried to promote Macadamia 100 years old. There are even trees on the UC Berkeley Campus. Although grow well in CA, everyone thinks they only grow in Hawaii.

Pip trees are no good. Always small nuts no matter what. I have 350 grafted mac trees........... great nuts. 4 pip (seed) trees........... no matter what I do to them, alway small nuts. Grafted mac trees are the way forward, so you know what your gonna get.

@@realtruth1448 Use a good root stock from a hardy mac variaty. Most common here is South Africa is the A4, nelmac, and Beaumont. The Beaumont (695) is by far the most popular to use as root stock dew to it's strong attributes. Good feeder, resistant and hardy. Best is to see what is used in your aria by other farmers. Climates, altitudes and overall weather play a big part.

I'm guessing your trees are Beaumont judging by the pink flowers. The Macadamia trees in Hawaii are different -- they have white flowers and the leaves don't have the spines. I'm not sure but they may not be hybrids as Beaumont is. It could very well be that Beaumont is a crappy macnut that was selected for its tolerance of California conditions rather than its productivity or nut quality. I had a big old tree in Los Gatos about the size of yours and despite flowering prolifically every year it produced very few nuts.

It doesnt look like true Beaumont. Beaumont's new growth is dark red. Beaumont produces well in Cal. In SoCal it produces multiple crops if it is treated correctly - regular feeding (heavy mulching and foliar feeding with chelated micronutrients), frequent irrigation from the nut set till harvest.

You are partially right, let me set the record straight: The genus Citrus is native to South Asia, East Asia (China), Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia. And although made famous in Southern California, the Navel Orange was discovered in Bahia Brazil growing as a mutant sport off of a common sweet orange.
