Beaumont Macadamia Tree for Sale
Macadamia integrifolia × tetraphylla 'Beaumont' is the workhorse macadamia of South African orchards and home gardens. It produces clusters of hard-shelled nuts with creamy, high-oil kernels — excellent roasted, in baking, or eaten fresh once cracked.
Plant in full sun in deep, well-drained soil. Macadamias dislike waterlogging and heavy frost when young. Water regularly while establishing; mature trees are moderately drought-tolerant. Feed in spring and mid-summer with a balanced fertiliser suited to nut trees.
Beaumont is largely self-fertile, though a second macadamia cultivar nearby can improve nut set. Expect first meaningful crops several years after planting as the tree establishes.
Appearance
Evergreen canopy with glossy leaves; clusters of round hard-shelled nuts with creamy white kernels high in oil.
Harvest Time
Nuts typically mature from late summer into autumn; harvest when husks split or nuts drop, depending on climate.
Year to Bear
Grafted trees usually begin cropping within 3–5 years of planting, with heavier yields as the canopy fills out.
Growth Rate
Medium to large evergreen tree — allow space for a full canopy (often 5–8m+ in the ground over time).
Container Friendly?
Young trees can start in large containers, but Beaumont is best planted in the ground for a productive nut crop.
Watering
Keep evenly moist while establishing. Avoid waterlogging. Mature trees need deep watering in dry spells, especially during nut fill.
Temperature
Best in warm, subtropical to mild temperate areas. Protect young trees from hard frost.
Chilling
No winter chilling requirement like deciduous fruit; cool dry weather can help flower set in some regions.
Pollination Info
Beaumont is largely self-fertile. A second macadamia cultivar nearby can improve pollination and nut set.
Planting & Care Guide
Plant in full sun in deep, well-drained soil. Dig a wide hole, set the graft union above soil level, and water in thoroughly. Mulch the root zone, keeping mulch clear of the trunk. Feed in spring and mid-summer. Prune lightly to shape when young; avoid heavy cuts on mature productive wood.
