Macadamia integrifolia
The A38 macadamia is a well-known Australian variety valued for its large, high-quality nuts and reliable production. It produces round to slightly oval nuts with a hard shell and a creamy white kernel known for its excellent flavour and texture. A38 has been widely planted in commercial orchards due to its consistent nut size and strong yields.
The nuts have a smooth, rich, buttery taste and are highly regarded for both fresh eating and roasting. Kernel recovery is good, producing attractive whole kernels that crack cleanly from the shell.
The tree itself is vigorous and upright, forming a strong canopy with glossy green foliage. It adapts well to warm climates and performs well in subtropical regions, making it suitable for many macadamia-growing areas of Australia. Once established, trees can produce reliable crops of quality nuts each season.
