Macadamias in the tropics

    3 responses

Sarah (Cairns) starts with ...
I am planning to plant a macadamia tree in my backyard in suburban Cairns and am trying to find a suitable variety, i.e. one which doesn't get too huge but will cope with our tropical conditions. My local nursery has suggested 741 but over time I know it will grow very tall. My preference was for A16 but I am struggling to get any info on whether it will go okay up here. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Sarah

Thanks heaps for the advice - will have another look at the 344 and 246 varieties as well as the 741 (shame they don't have slightly catchier names).
