Recommendations for macadamia nut cultivation
The macadamia tree is a subtropical evergreen tree of the family Macadamaceae that grows to a height of about 15 meters. It grows well in climates with alternating wet and dry seasons, and the optimal temperature for growth is 20-25℃.
It grows well in barren soil, but does not tolerate strong winds. It has a dense root structure with clusters of short lateral roots (proteoid roots) without a main root, which allows it to absorb nutrients from the soil very well, but it is susceptible to strong winds.

It takes about 4-5 years from seedling to flowering. The leaves are dark green and oblong-oval in shape, 10-25 cm long.
The flowers hang in clusters about 20 cm long in an ear shape. Each ear has more than 200 flowers, each of which is 2.5 cm in diameter, and blooms begin at the top of the ear, taking up to a week or more until the lowest flower blooms.
Flower color varies from creamy-white on the smooth-shelled Macademia intergrifolia to pink on the bumpy-shelled Macademia terraphylla.
