I bought mine from Lowes 4 years ago. So far it has never bloomed.
The branches break easily and is the best tinder. It is nitro.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

my first one took 5 years to set nuts

[@shadytreez]

@@TropicalGardenGuy Thank you for that info!

[@paulfri1569]

​@@shadytreeztakes 8 years on average..

Super healthy looking young tree Jeff, I look forward to seeing its progress over this Summer 👍

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

These guys can take some cold too.
The first year inground is most important.
112f in summer and 28f in winter is hard on many fruits

I grow macadamas here in Southern Australia - 2 in ground and a dwarf type in a pot. Please note to use low phosphorus fertiliser - A little nitrogen & potassium is ok but lots of mulch. Your H10 leaves will become smaller as it gwts bigger. Looms like a Tetraphylla type 'Hetraphylla is the other with rounded non spiky leaves

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Thanks for the info.
So many gardeners here in California plant macs and then feed em 10-10-10 fertilizer and they rarely get nuts.
I had similar experiences with my first tree until I dumped 3 lbs of a fertilizer call sul po mag.
Now I just tell folks be careful with phos!

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@TropicalGardenGuy the reason why is Australian soils are very old and lack Phos so they grow well with very little - we can buy Native plant Fert such as Scotts 33% N 0.49% P & 6.3%K plus 11.4% Sulpher and usual trace elements

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

excellent info… thanks

How do we know if the tree is inlaid or not?

[@aatefmawad4673]

How long to produce if it is not inlaid?

[@paulfri1569]

Hi Jeff, I live in Tracy, CA and Your tips about growing avacado tree have been very useful to me.. Just wanted to check if you have done done any air layering on the macadamia tree.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Not this year, though I plan on giving it a try next spring!

[@scuzzyfpv]

Just came across this channel and love it! I'm near by in Manteca. I purchased an Alfonso mango tree and i'm a beginner. Starting to realize its going to be difficult for this type of tree in our area. any tips? Thanks!

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I just did a new video on my 15 ft tall mango tree fruiting… check it out

[@easyox77]

You might want to plant that in the backyard. Nuts will go missing

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Maybe so!🌴😎🌴

[@randall7012]

If you grow in a pot how often should you change soil or can you continue to enrich same soil with worm castings and fertilizer?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I generally change potted plants every 12 months

[@organicgardening5989]

What about watering

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

3 times per week in summer

[@aatefmawad4673]

How long does it take to give fruit

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

The last Mac tree took about 6 years

[@aatefmawad4673]

Even if it’s an inlaid tree

[@aatefmawad4673]

At what time is this tree vaccinated?
