Botanical Name: Macadamia integrifolia
Common Names: A16 Macadamia, Hidden Valley A16
A16 is a top Australian selection known for its compact size and high yields. It is a slower growing tree with dwarfing tendencies, making it perfect for smaller backyards or large pots. Despite its smaller stature, it produces a massive amount of medium to large nuts with excellent kernel recovery.
Features:
Ideal prune height range: 2-3m
pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 6.5
Shade or full sun: Full sun
Minimum pot year 5: 45L pot
Time to fruit age: 3-5 years from a grafted tree
This tree is very wind tolerant and stays bushy, which helps it handle the local weather. Because it is a semi-dwarf variety, you can reach the harvest easily without needing tall ladders. The nut quality is world-class, giving you plenty of crunchy, creamy kernels from a small space. It is a hardy evergreen that stays looking green and healthy all year.
Interesting Notes:
A16 is highly valued because you get more nuts per square metre than many larger varieties. It is a smart choice for urban growers who want a commercial-quality harvest in a suburban setting. The high kernel recovery means you get more food and less shell weight for every nut you crack.
A16 is the best pick for growers with limited space who still want a heavy crop of premium macadamias.
