Bunya Nut
I am always looking for unusual plants that will survive in my cold climate garden. It's growing relatively fast and is strong and healthy because it had a good start from the nursery
BALLIANG, VIC
Bunya Nut
I like the tall and stately tree that it becomes. When young frosts can kill leaves but the tree grows new shoots. Keep the water up to it in spring and summer.

Wanted to give it a try down south currently in Braidwood will be planting in Cooma in Spring to get established before next years frosts.

Boiling the nuts for a few minutes will stop them germinating. After that they can be sundried for a week or so and the nut easily remove with the aid of a hammer. Food-precess them into flour and Bob's your uncle.

I grew up in Kingaroy and vists to Bunya Mts were a treat. Now live at Brymaroo on opposite side of the Bunyas. Had a short holiday there last week and bunya trees are dropping a bumper crop of cones - some say biggest crop in a long, long time.

We have a Bunya and 1 fruit has fallen. At first I didn't know what it was and than remembered from from my school days the trees were mostly planted for a food source during the hard ships and the nuts being nutricious was hence a good food source.

P'raps due to lack of seasonal rainfall, our 15-yr-young Bunya just unloaded 14 cones - its first ever drop, terrifying our horses! Heard that keeping nuts in fridge for a few wks makes 'em sweeter. Aborigines buried them in mud for same reason.

The best way to shell them is to boil them for 20 minutes and then, hold them firmly between two fingers on a bread board and saw them in half carefully with a mean steak knife.Then just pop the two halves uot with a bread knife.

Starthnerton, VIC, Australia, Australia
Bunya Nut
I found the best way to cook Bunya nuts is to roast them in the hot coals of a small camp fire and they're ready when they go pop. I found the easiest way to extract the nut is to cut the "fat" end of the seed off and lever it out with the tip of a knife.

We live in northern NSW. in the last week, we've collected 30 cones, and are still waiting for more to drop. this is our first year to taste these nuts....does anyone have any tips on how best to eat them?
Bunya Nut
Cristina Bernardes: The nuts grown high in the crown. Since you are in the Southern Hemisphere, if there are any nuts they should start to fall shortly

The bunya cones grow near the top of the tree and are usually within the first third of the branch (closest to the trunk)but they can be out to almost half way along the branch. Good crop on this year, I checked out my favourite spot today

The University of Melbourne, Victoria has a lagre Bunya tree. It has recently dropped one cone. A collegue and I can't see any more cones from the base of the tree - so it must be in between the three years.

We have 4 trees @ 40 mtrs high planted circa 1880's (120 yrs old). They drop cones every year with the largest exceeding 18kg's. Last year many of the trees in our area were de-coned by arborists for safety but we have a second flush of cones falling now

3YEARLY LARGE CROP : Generally there is a large crop / bumpercrop every 3 years and then a few cones annually . Soaking the shelled nuts in water for more than 12 hours removes the enzyme inhibiting factor for better digestion.

Typically it is a heavier crop every three years. The Bunya mountains have not cropped well for ten years though, according to the park rangers I spoke to in April, probably due to drought. Byron area had good falls this year 06.
