Is it possible to buy potted quick maturing grafted macadamias a few
years old so as to reduce the time before you get nuts? |

I purchased a 3 year old tree, in a pot, and once it was planted in the ground it shot away. 2 or 3 years later it was bearing fruit and now 5 or 6 years on it has quite a crop on it. I do not believe my tree was grafted. Mike |

Mike I once planted a seedling and it grew to be a huge tree but it took 7 or 8 years to get nuts and as I am now getting ancient and have moved to a new house I can not wait that long. |

I should think a grafted tree would produce fuit a lot quicker , why not ask your orchardist ? I did ask one of the small plant selling places got nowhere, just thought I would ask here. |
