Description
The Beaumont Macadamia Nut Tree is a highly productive, fast-growing hybrid of Macadamia integrifolia and M. tetraphylla. It is renowned for its medium to large nut size and high oil content, making it a favorite among growers for its rich, buttery flavor and ease of cracking. This tree thrives in subtropical and tropical climates (Zones 9-11) and can tolerate mild frosts better than some other varieties. It prefers full sun, well-draining soil, and moderate watering, becoming drought-tolerant once established.
The Beaumont Macadamia is not only a valuable source of nuts but also adds ornamental value with its vibrant magenta foliage and striking pink flowers. It begins producing nuts within 4-5 years of planting and can continue bearing for decades. With proper care, it provides an abundant supply of homegrown gourmet nuts, making it a rewarding choice for food forests and edible landscapes.
