What is the growing environment of macadamia nuts?

Hawaiian fruit, also known as macadamia nut, Queensland fruit and so on, is a kind of nut native to Australia and has high economic value. So, what is the growing environment of Hawaiian fruit? Let's get to know it together.

1. Lighting

Hawaiian fruit has high requirements for light, especially for some fruit trees, if the permeability of fruit trees is too poor, it will not only lead to lack of light, but also affect the pollination of Hawaiian fruit trees, resulting in fruit drop. The fruit setting rate of the outer branches of Hawaiian fruit trees is much higher than that of the inner chamber branches about a month after the flowers fall, and the fruit branches of Hawaiian fruit trees are mainly perennial branches and spring shoots. These fruiting branches are concentrated in the crown, and with the growth of fruit trees, the fruiting branches will gradually turn to the outside, resulting in a decrease in the amount of fruit in the canopy, so it is necessary to adjust the structure of fruit trees to promote light absorption.

2. Temperature

Although Hawaiian fruit is a tropical tree species, the temperature should not be too high. If the temperature exceeds 33 degrees, it will have a certain impact on its yield, and different varieties have different ranges of adaptation to temperature. Different growth stages also have different temperature requirements. Most Hawaiian fruit varieties should be controlled at about 15-21 degrees during flower bud differentiation, and the best temperature is 17-19 degrees. When setting fruit, the temperature should be controlled about 20-30 degrees, otherwise it will produce different degrees of fruit drop, which will affect the yield and reduce the planting benefit.

3. Moisture

Water is also very important for the growth of Hawaiian fruit. It is necessary to keep the soil moist before flowering, and its water content is closely related to the size, quality and kernel rate of Hawaiian fruit. If there is a lack of water, the phenomenon of water shortage occurs after the leaves evaporate, while the young leaves will wither and fall. The old leaves lose their light, and when the leaves fall seriously, the photosynthesis of Hawaiian fruits decreases. Photosynthetic matter accumulation will also be seriously insufficient, but water should not be too much, encountered in the rainy season or too much watering, but also timely drainage to prevent waterlogging.

4. Wind power

The wind resistance of Hawaiian fruit is relatively poor. Hawaiian fruit trees will not only be swayed by strong winds, but also affect the flower and fruit quantity and fruit development of Hawaiian fruit, especially in the young fruit stage, their flower stalks and fruit stalks are very fragile. Slightly stronger wind can break it, resulting in falling flowers and fruit. Second, wind is also the main cause of Hawaiian fruit drop. Therefore, when choosing planting plots, we should try to choose less windy areas, if the wind volume is large and more, then it is necessary to build a good windbreak forest around.

The above is the introduction of the growing environment of Hawaiian fruit. Is it suitable for you to grow Hawaiian fruit?
