TORERE MACADAMIAS LIMITED (TML)

HOME GARDEN VARIETIES

 

  Home Gardeners needs and wants from their macadamia trees and nuts differ considerably from Commercial Growers.

Home growers want good quality, large tasty nuts that don't need spraying and grow on trees that are easy to manage and maintain.

TML recognised and acknowledged this and gradually built up a range of varieties to fullfill the Home Growers needs.

TML's range includes their own blended varieties being TMac1 (Renown/Nelmac), TMac2 (Own Choice/Renown), TMac 217 and GT varieties.   

 

 

These are the most important factors for Home Gardeners:

 

  • Medium size open trees that are easily maintained
  • Mainly open husks – don’t need de-husking machinery
  • Large wholesome kernels
  • Medium/thick shells to deter rats and insect damage - don't want to spray.
  • Choice of varieties based on harvest times for fresh nuts over several months
  • Visually attractive trees with a range of blossoms and leaf type to choose from
  • Robust varieties suitable for NZ’s cooler climatic conditions
  • Good crops annually not bi-annually

       

      A mix of varieties is recommended for better pollination.

      All varieties are grafted on to Beaumont rootstock in PB6.5 and PB10 bags.

    • TML will graft other varieties on request, eg Beaumnont, Pa 39.
