The tree has open foliage which helps with air flow. The nuts form towards the centre of the tree, which is great because it protects them from the hot sun. This is an early to mid season producer, giving you a big harvest of crunchy nuts. It is an evergreen tree that looks tidy and provides nice shade while it grows your food.
Interesting Notes:
The smooth leaves make this tree very comfortable to prune and harvest. Because the nuts are protected by the inner branches, they stay cool and develop a better taste. Macadamias are a great source of healthy oils and energy. Growing this selection means you are planting a piece of Australian horticultural history from a famous plantation.
Gouros is a reliable producer for anyone who wants a lot of nuts without too much fuss.
