Cutting grown. 

The Beaumont Macadamia is a superstar in the nut world. It is a hybrid tree that gives you the best of both worlds. It looks beautiful in a garden with its pink flowers and it produces loads of nuts that are easier to crack than other types. This is the top choice for home growers in Perth who want a reliable harvest and a great shade tree.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 3-5m (can grow to 10m if left alone)

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 6.5

Shade or full sun: part shade (protect from hot wind). Full sun possible after 2m tall.

Minimum pot year 5: 60L to 75L pot

Time to fruit age: 4-6 years for cutting grown trees.

Beaumont trees have stunning new leaves that start off bright purple or maroon before turning a deep glossy green. In spring, the tree is covered in long dangles of fragrant pink flowers.

The nuts have a rich buttery taste and the tree is famous for dropping them when they are ripe. This means no guessing games. You just pick them up off the ground and start snacking.

Interesting Notes:

The shells are super tough but once you get inside, the reward is worth it. You can even use the crushed shells in your garden as mulch or in a fire pit to keep bugs away. Like all macadamias, these are toxic to dogs, so keep the pups away from the fallen nuts.

This tree is a must-have for any Perth nut lover or food forest.
