Macadamia can do well in marginal areas and in most soil types as long as they are well-drained. However, poorly drained clay soils should be avoided.
In Kenya, macadamia farming is carried out in Embu, Murang’a, Thika, Meru, Taita Taveta, Tharaka Nithi, Baringo, Bungoma, Laikipia, Kakamega, Nandi, Kiambu, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Machakos.
There are many varieties and they include Murang’a 20, Murang’a 23, Taita Taveta 1 and 2, Kirinyaga 15, Ex-Embu, Ex-Kiambu, Ex- Murang’a and Meru 23 and 24.
Murang’a 20 is a good variety and is adapted to a wide range of ecological conditions.
Macadamia matures in 2 - 3.5 years and they produce 50-200kg per season by the time they are five years.
However, UnGrafted macadamia takes 7 years to start bearing and they produce 7-10kg in the first year and 50kg per season by the fifth year of bearing.
Therefore, Grafted macadamia has more advantages than ungrafted.
