The tree can grow in its endemic range to 15m but i have one in my front yard at Phillip Island, and after 6 years it's up to my knees. The seed is eaten when the outer fruit coating splits.  Inside will be a hard shell. Crack this open to eat the seed inside (Macadamia nut).  Can be eaten raw or roasted with seasonings. Endemic Range Rainforests of Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Flowers Spring (September- November) Fruit Late Autumn to Early Spring (May to Septembe

I use this plant quite a lot. This grows wild along the coast here in Phillip Island and i have its older sibling ( Tetragonia tetragonioides ) growing in my yard. Both can be used the same, T. tetragonioides has a larger leaf closer in size to European spinach. I start by harvesting the leaves and blanching them in boiling water for a few minutes and discarding the water. This helps to remove the oxalic acid (oxalates). I then either use fresh in salads, in cooked quiche

I use this plant quite a lot. I have this growing in my yard and its baby sibling grows along the coast here in Phillip Island ( Tetragonia implexicoma ). Both can be used the same. I start by harvesting the leaves and blanching them in boiling water for a few minutes and discarding the water. This helps to remove the oxalic acid (oxalates). I then either use fresh in salads, in cooked quiche or as a pesto ingredient. Endemic Range All states except Northern Territory and
