The generally held belief amongst gardeners is that Macadamia nuts don't grow in the Bay Area. http://www.greengardenservice.net

  • That's awesome! I wonder if they would do well in Ventura county, CA

  • @ScottcNehrer  I am sure they will, More people grow Macnuts in Southern CA than in the north.

  • That's very cool. I live in North Cal and have a seedling so this is comforting. I'm also amusing myself with papaya, guava and other seeds.

  • @KawaiiKemonomimi There are some problems with mac nuts in CA put it isn't the weather. They generally grow very well here, if you keep the squirrels away. Guava work in sheltered spots around the Bay Area but the fruit quality varies with the weather. Papaya are greenhouse specimens at best around here. I stick to stuffing myself on them when I'm on the Island. May all your planting projects bear fruit. Bill

  • Great video, where can I get one of those nut crackers? (I'm from Australia) Oh and also can I grow a macadamia nut tree in a large container?

  • @bluesdog88 The cracker I have was made in Australia but purchased in Captain Cook Hawaii. Try a local google search, you should find one close to home. The tree would have to be in very large container because they grow large and get there fast.

  • @VaMoneyCow The average low in Richmond is 0 to 10 degrees. The low end for a Macadamia nut tree is around 27 degrees. There doesn't appear to be any practical way to do this. As far as Mango is concerned just north of the Florida Keys and San Diego CA are about the only Mainland locations were people seem to get by. I have a home in Hawaii at 1600 feet and it is too cool for Mango to fruit there. The trees grow with diseases but no Mango. Good luck.

  • I wonder if they would grow in Richmond,Va? Im going to try mango this coming spring I thiknk I'll give this a try also....

  • @GreenGardenGuy1 dude thats awesome
