Macadamia is an Australian rainforest tree that gives us one of the richest, creamiest nuts on earth. The shell is famously hard - you really earn that buttery crunch.

🏡 In the garden:

Best in warm climates, zones 9-11, cold hardy to light freeze. Needs full sun, good drainage, and patience - seedlings can take several years to start producing (grafted or air-layered trees start flowering right away). Once established, they are long-lived and productive.
