My tree is indeed a seedling, or it may be air-layered. I got it from Bob Murray at the BRFC sale. The past few years when Bob speaks at the meeting I always ask him why my macadamia is not flowering (sort of a tradition for me). He says he grows them from seed due to they are more cold tolerant...I don't know if he still has that philosophy as I think I'm not the only one with those same questions. From seed, it is reported it takes between 7-15 years for it to flower. The tree is healthy and stands around 15 feet. Not in a full sun spot either, so...I need to just wait and be patient....but, its killing me....I love macadamia and thought I would be eating them by now!

I had one nut last year, but never saw the flower. It got pushed over by the hurricanes, so it is shocked and stressed...so...maybe it will flower this spring!

Bob always semi-joked on hitting the trunk with a chain, or splitting it with a majete'...to shock it to flower....

I tried girdling a branch a couple of years ago...that didn't work...but now the tree is leaning from wind damage...looks healthy...just needs to flower.
