Hi Tasman
Yes definitely, you can grow macs in Tassie but, you have to cover them with Hessian cloth or equivalent during frosty nights when young. They will however be productive later about 10 yrs or more than their warmer situated counterparts. If you have the patience and countenance of a saint then go for it. The best variety for Tas is M. Tetraphylla the rough shelled mac
Happy gardening :-)

Thank you Fruitylicious.

Hi Tasman

Happy gardening :-)
