About Macadamia Trees
The Macadamia Castle is named after the Macadamia nut tree and visitors can visit the Macadamia Orchard and learn all about how Macadamia trees are grown. Much is taken into consideration before an orchard is planted, such as the slope of the ground, the drainage, windbreaks, as well as the harvesting procedures. This area is equipped with conditions that are excellent for Macadamia trees to flourish as the soil is well drained and rich in organic matter.
