Macadamia GT205

Macadamia GT205 Details

“GT205” is a variety of Macadamia that has been bred to withstand cooler and wetter growing conditions, as well as producing from early age.  The nuts ripen in autumn and are of good size with a lovely texture and flavour. It grows as an evergreen tree to about 6 m tall and 4 m wide, bearing glossy green foliage which creates a lovely backdrop to the racemes of pink flowers in summer. It is important to plant two different varieties of Macadamias close to each other for cross pollination and to ensure good yields. This variety grows best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun and protected from frost. “GT205” is commonly grown as a specimen, planted specifically for nut production, or added to a mixed planting in a large garden.
