Macadamia Tree Nursery

AMORENTIA

SGASA Accredited Macadamia Tree Nursery

We offer land-preparation, orchard development and planting-out advice as a value-added service to all our macadamia tree growers.

Amorentia Macadamia Nursery has propagated Macadamia Trees for over 50 years. We have enjoyed a long history of Macadamias and are proud of the role we play in the South African Macadamia industry, from the development of protocols and techniques, to dispatching millions of trees. Undoubtedly, we have contributed to South Africa’s status as the world’s largest Macadamia producer. At Amorentia, we aim for excellence.

Our Mother Tree Material originates from our own production blocks, where historical data confirms high-performing Mother trees. The ongoing result is that we offer our growers high-yield potential from the start. It also means that we control our propagation processes by not relying on third parties for scions or cuttings, eliminating the risk of cultivar confusion and the risk of contamination from dreaded pests or diseases.

These factors cannot be more relevant when considering the current risks to the Macadamia industry.

Testamonials

I must mention that the 695 trees we purchased from you way back in 2004 have really done well, we average between 5 and 6.5 tons per annum at a crack out of about 36 to 38%.

Afternoon Lauren, My wife and myself would like to thank you and your team in the manner which you handled our sale. Amoerentia’s professionalism was very evident and highly felt. We just want to say thank you and we will be knocking on your door again. Trees are on the ground.

Hi Lauren, just been to see Darryl Goble and was super impressed with the trees you supplied him. They have taken off are a looking superb. Well done. Rgds Andrew

Hi Lauren We have bought many thousands of seedlings from Amorentia nursery over the last 13 years. We have been very happy with the service and the trees have been great quality. Two years ago, we bought a lot of Beaumonts both grafted and rooted cuttings and we are exceptionally happy with the rate at which they grow, especially the rooted cuttings. To date these have outperformed any other variety we have planted and we believe we will have a crop on them next season. I have two orchards from two different Nurseries in adjacent blocks and although they are not the same variety the seedlings from Amorentia have required less attention to get them growing vigorously. I am very happy with the quality they supply and would recommend them to any grower looking for top quality seedlings. From Warren Poustie UVS

Cultivar Selection

Cultivar Selection is a vitally important question when developing your Macadamias on any scale. Micro-climates can produce surprising results so trials in new areas are always advisable.
