Macadamia nut trees are native to the tropical and sub-tropical parts of Australia, but they can be grown further south.
They will even fruit in Melbourne; usually from when the tree is about 4 or 5 years old.
Modern cultivars have been bred to be smaller – some only 4-5 metres tall – so are suitable for smaller gardens.
They can also be grown in a large pot.
However, they do need frost protection when they’re young, and they won’t survive waterlogged soil. Add plenty of organic matter and choose a protected site with good drainage.
