Macadamia
The Macadamia is a highly prized and versatile nut tree, known for its rich, buttery flavour and crunchy texture. The nuts are encased in a hard, dark brown shell that is surrounded by a green husk, and once cracked, they are perfect for fresh eating, baking, and adding a decadent touch to a variety of dishes. Macadamias are renowned for their creamy, smooth taste, making them a favourite in desserts, snacks, and confectionery. The Macadamia tree is a beautiful evergreen, producing fragrant white to pinkish blossoms before yielding a generous crop of nuts in autumn. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a great choice for home gardeners looking to grow their own supply of this luxurious nut. The tree is hardy and can tolerate warm climates, adding both aesthetic value and delicious, homegrown macadamias to your garden.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
