Description
Macadamia integrifolia leaves are simple, oblong in shape, glossy, entire with wavy leaf margins and are 20 cm long and 10 cm wide.[3] The flowers are white or pink followed by woody, edible rounded fruits[4] which are 2 to 3.5 cm in diameter.
This tree is rarely cultivated for ornamental purposes.[2]
It has been introduced to Mexico and has done well in the states of Michoacán and Jalisco.[5]
The trees will survive in hardiness zones 10 and 11.[citation needed]
The trees in Australia can be affected by a fungal pathogens from the Neopestalotiopsis genus and the Pestalotiopsis genus (both are within Sporocadaceae family), they both cause flower blight.[6][7]
