Dwarf Macadamia tree ?
« on: August 14, 2018, 12:08:55 AM »
Anyone know where I can buy a dwarf macadamia tree. I saw a post about this but the website that sold them is no longer doing so I think, and there selling the place ?

Not sure there are any real dwarf macadamias. A16 is a popular smaller cultivar here (there are a few others).

never heard of a dwarf but they can be pruned for size, also do'not know why 1  would want a dwarf as the nuts fall to the ground when ripe.

Or the squirrels eat them well before they are ripe...

The squirrels do in my yard. One year I counted 11 coming in for brunch, shooed them and picked the whole tree, maybe 1/3 had a full kernel.
