Macadamia trees are Australian Natives and have adapted to low phosphate , depleted soils. All Australian natives require low phosphate soils and fertilisers.
Liked the video. Do the cutting need to be in a bag or in green house the entire 9 months would have liked to see the rooting on those air layers more in depth very good video
The cuttings need to be inside a plastic container or place a bag over the pot. Keep the humidity high. Use a rooting hormone also on the cuttings and the air layers. I will do an update in about two months on the air layers with more details and show the root system. Thanks for your comments and visiting my channel.
i love your videos. I have a small yard so I need to be careful of what I grow. I want to grow some kind of nut but do not know which. Any suggestions?
Am in Uganda in east Africa. I have just grown my macadamia two weeks ago. At what time do I have to start adding fertilizer, or manure to my garden. Thank you
I found a 9-month slow release 18-6-8. Is that alright? I have a very small potted tree and have noticed some browning around the edges of some leaves. I also found liquinox in a 32oz size.
I use the 18-6-8 also on some of the macadamia trees without much issue so you should be fine. LIquinox is good but don't over use it. Your soil pH when off will show in the leaves typically as iron deficiency. Thanks for commenting.
Interesting topic..liked the info well..I'm from Philippines and I'd like to switch my mango trees to macademia, is it possible to ship seedlings here?
Thank you. Please help and what should I do? The leaves above the graft turn brown and die, even though it is 3 years old Someone told me there is root rot
You mentioned about using the iron and zinc 4x per year. Could I apply it once a season or 4x between Spring an Summer. I live in central Texas. My mac is in a container and considered a seedling. Should I start fertilizing now or wait until it's larger?
If the leaves look healthy no need. When they get older and in the ground the soil pH can cause problems with nutrient uptake. Generally they need very little Phosphorus but in low pH soils they can actually become deficient in phosphorus.

I inherited a macadamia nut tree when we bought a house in zone 10a fort myers fl. It produced a handful of. It’s but it has not been taken care of by previous owners and I would like to help it along to get back to health. It seems to be older as it is about 15 feet tall. I think it was starved for sun as it is very straight up and down without any canopy. Can it be hard pruned and come back. Thank you Melinda
My grandmother used to have her tree trimmed back yearly she said someone told her they needed it once I got her stop and only clean out the branches inside the canopy the tree has produced tons of huge nuts also I never clean up under the tree anymore like I used to they have shallow feeder roots like avocados leaving all the leaves dropped will eventually let bacteria and fungus grow so if you see white stuff in the leaf litter that’s good they form a symbolic relationship with the roots
I have two very nice 15 gal trees. They are hybrids. about 5- 6 foot tall. Variety are Dana White and Arkin. These should start producing soon. They have already flowered once each but still too young. I am in Davie, Florida. You can reach me by text: 954-740-4070 Thanks.
Can these trees can grow in tropical mashland? I have some tropical mashland during munsoon season, rest of the time the land is dry. If anyone have the knowledge please share it with me!
Four species exist and they easily hybridize so difficult to answer your question. The Arkin has almost no spikes-thorns. Macadamia integrifolia: Seedling leaves can be large and prickly, but mature leaves have smooth edges, generally with three leaves to each node, new flush is green, flowers are cream and the shells are smooth. The species Macadamia tetraphylla, has four spiny leaves to each node, new flush and flowers are pink and the shells are bumpy or dimpled. The other two species: The species Macadamia ternifolia has three leaves with spiny margins to each node, flowers and new flush are pink. The shells are small and smooth the nut is bitter tasting. Macadamia jansenii has three leaves with smooth margins to each node, flowers are cream and new flush is green or pink. The nuts are small bitter tasting and smooth. Hope that helps.
all you say can be said in less than half the time. stop repeating and going around the point you're trying to make. that way people are less annoyed by the end of the video.
@@Pepesplants no i did got some things out of it. it was just annoying how it's made to be longer than it needed to be. even though there is good information in it it feels like clickbait and that's not a good feeling if you want to get more subscribers.
