#2226 Monday 9th October

Wow!  Flowers!

I planted 3 macadamia trees in 2002...... and the trees are growing well.  They're about 5 metres tall...... but in all the 21 years, no macadamia Nuts have been produced.  I planted multiple trees so that they will cross pollinate.....  but no flowers have grown.  Till now! 

The bees are hard at work on the flowers so we should get some nuts at last.  I'd almost lost hope of this day ever arriving. 

The trees usually produce nuts around 14 years old so they're very late.  I've been putting fertiliser on the trees with no effect.
