Macadamia Beaumont - 17cm Pot

Macadamia Beaumont.

Botanical Name: Macadamia integrifolia x M. tetraphylla ‘Beaumont’

This tropical tree produces edible nuts that are a rich source of thiamine, vitamin B6, manganese, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. They have a creamy texture and nutty flavour that’s enhanced by roasting. This particular hybrid selected for the Tucker Bush range is the ideal “garden variety”, a fast and prolific fruiter, producing nuts that are easier to shell than most commercial varieties.

Macadamia (also called the Queensland nut, Hawaii nut, bush nut, maroochi nut and bauple nut) is a world-famous Australian native nut, first traded by Aboriginal Elder King Jacky of the Logan River clan (QLD), who is credited as being the first known Macadamia entrepreneur. But it was an American plant collector who introduced this delicious produce to the world, jumpstarting international demand for the buttery nut in all the forms we know and love today. Suited to warm and tropical climates, Macadamia can be found from the northern parts of the country to as far south as southwest WA.

Bush food has sustained generations of Aboriginal peoples for centuries, and today represents a rich and vibrant history in the culture of this land. The Tucker Bush range aims to introduce a truly local flavour to the modern suburban home.
