Anbautipps

Macadamia trees are shallow-rooted and vulnerable to wind damage; provide windbreaks and avoid exposed sites.

Harvest fallen nuts from the ground regularly (every 2-3 weeks) to minimize quality deterioration and rodent losses.

Trees are sensitive to phosphorus; excessive P application can cause zinc and iron deficiency — soil test before fertilizing.
