Congrats on 5 years, Daniel. All looking good there with your trees. I certainly look forward to your informative and entertaining videos. Here's to the next 5 years 🍾
Your tree health has definitely improved since you first started posting videos, thats the benefit of videoing your orchard. I regularly film from the ground and also gather aerial drone footage in the orchard I look after, as it helps to detect small changes in tree health and in the canopy before and after pruning. Then, approximately 6 months later to check the progress.
Older trees look good Daniel, congratulations on a half decade of macadamia farming. When are the big projects coming up regarding row removal and such?
@@mattikelby5571 thanks mate, appreciated. I have a little earthworks project under way first, but hopefully some progress on the fun stuff this season.
@@murugarsamy6540 hi, thanks for the comment. Nutkin Farm has many varieties although the ones you’re seeing in this particular video are 333, 344 and A16.
Thank you brother, i am new to macadamia farming, in recent days macadamia farming is getting popular in india, inspired by some youtube videos i have planted around 200 seeding plants in my farm, the seller who sold the plants to us said its macadamia tetraphylla 816. And assured the nuts can be harvested from 5 year. Hoping for the best.
Hi Daniel, Congratulations! Will be looking forward to many more videos from you. I know, its totally inappropriate for this video, what am going to ask you about; but I hope to get some suggestions. Am from India, from south whre the temperatures can get quite high in summer months ( March, April, May) might even touch 45 deg celcius. The lowest can be around the winter months ( Dec, Jan , feb), which is around 28 deg celcius. In a nutshell an average day temperature during the year varies between 30 to 40 deg celsius and night temperature varies from 24 to 32 deg celcius. There are exceptions during summer months where it might touch 45 deg for a couple of weeks. Am very much interested to start Macadamia farm, i own reasonable amount of land. My issue is that people in India started supply seedlings/ grafted plants but none could gave a satisfactory answer regarding the correct variety to plant for my climatic conditions. There are few people in our area which has same temperature, has planted macadamia ( the variety they call here is 816). Its been 2 years since they have planted and the vegetative growth so far is good among them but weather they can be able bear the fruit or not still need to be seen, probably in 18 to 24 months. Am in a big dilemma on what to do. Am simply hoping if you can shed some light on this. I know different country, different conditions, its not fair on my part to expect a startight answer. But I know you from your videos that you are an honest man , never backs down to share anything regarding macademia farming. Since Australia can be quite hot ( i have heard the temperatures can go very high) can you please mention the varities that are grown in hot Australia conditions. Atleast thats a start for me !
@@sandiprxz Hi Sandi. The climate you’re describing is a lot hotter than the native origin of macadamias here. The only varieties I’ve heard of that actually “like” the heat are A268 and MCT1, but above 40 degrees I would be concerned about heat stress for any macadamia. The weakness is the root system being able to support the water consumption needed. The only short term approach for you is to try a few trees and see what happens. I don’t think you’d need a particular variety for that test although I would not have chosen 816 - it’s a fussy tree. Definitely choose grafted over own-root or seedlings.
@@nutkinfarmthanks for your in-depth response man. Just last week I came across a person who is experimenting with the air layering method in Macadamia. I am planning to visit his farm soon. I am sure I will be asking you some more favours ( I mean questions or doubts) regarding Macadamia. I hope you don't mind 😊
@@sandiprxzcould you plz share your contact details? Or mail id ? I am also from south india and I was looking for similar clarification. Thanks , Venkat
i have done bachelor of agriculture science degree in India and I'm very fluent to communicate in english language and my dream to do farming macadamia ❤
I encourage you to try, but be very careful about the climate limitations of growing macadamias in India. There may be parts of the south where it could work, but you need professional help to start.
Sorry Pradeep, I can't employ anyone in my particular farm operation. As mentioned in my answer to a similar comment of yours, I use contractors where needed but don't employ anyone by myself.

@@gregorypmullins Thanks Greg - I’ll keep doing them so long as they help or interest people!

@@patrickrushtonAussierider that’s a really good practice - when you see things regularly it’s harder to notice incremental changes like that.

Hi brother, your farm is amazing, can you tell me what is the variety name of the macadamia plants?

@@nutkinfarmThanks Dan, I was looking for the same clarification. All the best for your farm.
Hello from Cambodia, I have 3 years old of Macadamia farm but it's doesn't produce fruit yet.
@@boratsaroeun that’s great. Keep it up, the nuts will come!
Have maca farm prices dropped? You still need at least a million dollars to buy one.
It's a change from 2 million Karl! OK, maybe not that much in all cases but I have some good anecdotal evidence.

hello brother can you please provide plant I'm from India 🇮🇳 i want to do macadamia farming
Hi - I'm not permitted by our laws to ship live plant material overseas. If you google macadamia farm consultants in Australia you may find a way.
i want to work with you to gain experience about macadamia farming can you please sponsor me to get visa and get work experience with you ❤️

Already answered Pradeep.
@@nutkinfarm but firstly i want to work with you to can please sponsor me to work in your farm 🙏
@@pradeeppatel1975 I don't actually have any employees, so I can't sponsor one Pradeep. Maybe another subscriber here will be interested.
