Macadamia
In the tropics of the big island of Hawaii is where my brother lives. Several years ago he sent us a bag of macadamia nuts. So we planted lots of macadamia nuts in pots to see what they would do in Canada. Well, there were lots of little macadamia trees coming through the dirt. What a delight to see God’s power at work in the house. Even though the sun was not as much as we would like they did grow to little trees about a foot high.
They are supposed to get little flowers after about six years. But of course that is to be expected under ordinary surroundings.
This year we put one out in the garden and then we had a hard frost, so we were sure that we had lost the tree. Now it is July and it has grown three little leaves, which gave us an unexpected surprise. There are several in the house that are a beautiful deep green.

Taste The Excellent Nut
In Queensland there has been the growing of a
wonderful tree with tasty nuts that grow on it
called the Macadamia nut. It is the most sought
after of all nuts. The call for them cannot be filled.
So at different places around the world people are
starting to plant orchards of nut trees.
For the tree to grow some nuts on it you will be
waiting about six years.
By the streams where there is plenty of water you
can find the nut trees growing in New South Wales.
In1881 they started growing Macadamia nuts in
Hawaii. The big island sells a fair amount of nuts.
They like a place where there is no frost but they
have planted some in California. They will grow in
the house for a few years when you start them from
seed.
The tree is a spreading, beautiful symmetrical
shape with deep green long leaves and they can be
shiny. Some of these trees grow to be 30 feet high.
The trace nutrients and vitamins and minerals
and wonderful oils found in macadamia nuts make
them a great food for an everyday delight.
Of course the scientists are looking into the other tremendous values of these nuts. Different areas
depending on the soil and climate their food value
will vary.
Your heart disease risk is lowered when you daily
use macadamia nuts. But you have to get rid of the
junk foods that are full of toxins.
These nuts have sufficient protein to grow a healthy
body. Lots of different minerals are naturally found
in the macadamia nuts as potassium and phosphorus
and magnesium and trace minerals. Of course there’s
calcium in these nuts also along with other good elements.
To have the good quality of nut the grafted tree is
the best. It will produce the texture and flavor most
pleasant. The nut is round like a marble with green
hulls that dry and fall off but the nut shell has to be
cracked by using a strong device like vice grips and
strong nut crackers. If it wouldn’t ruin the nut you
can use a hammer. The nut is so hard it is like a little
pebble.
The trees are not hard to grow in the house. Just
put the seed, one or two in a flowerpot and watch it
grow. The dark green leaves have thorns on them so
as they get older watch out so you don’t get pricked.
After a few years it will have clumps of tiny
flowers that can be pink or white. They also can be
purple. Then you will have bunches of green balls.
Macadamia nuts have their own genes. They are
not changing its development with these men of science. This nut will help you to live healthy.
Now you can enjoy this wonderful treat and share
it with your friends. Always give your best. They are
very available on the internet. The Lord is so good to give us such a wonderful food as well as the rest of the great variety He has created for our enjoyment.
They also make ornaments with these and other nuts and seeds.
