Macadamia vs Frost .... Protect Your Trees!!

I just didn't get around to covering my macadamia trees going into their third winter - I was always going to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow did come but it was because of a frost.
In today's video I take you with me to see how my two macadamia trees survive the frost!
Check out my video in which I planted these two trees and covered them over!!

Your trees look like they'll be ok and hopefully will give you nuts in a few years.🙃😉😊

Yes we’ve turned the daylight corner 👏

Oooh, macadamia... i must find something for mine! I don't have obvious new growth, but perhaps some babying will get me some growth this coming season. It has been well mulched. Thanks Linda ❤

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Good luck - worth babying them haha!!

[@vickiwood9192]

We get frosts here on our cattle property in QLD, first one Wednesday morning, I don't think our cattle had frost on them though! I was racing around hosing my tomatoes, ohhh the things we do for our gardens and beautiful food! It's the best time of year for me to grow tomatoes, but it's tricky being that bit inland and having a low lying property with the Winter frosts. If you have too big an area or awkward area to cover, hosing the leaves saves your plants as it's the sun hitting the ice that burns the leaves. Thank you for the reminder for us all, for our frost sensitive trees, especially if you don't fancy getting frozen watering the ice off, it was very special watching the sun come up as I stood there in all my layers though, sunrise on a frosty morning❤

It’s very tricky gardening with frosts. I don’t plan on watering in the freezing cold - well done to you though!!! Thanks for watching Joanna! 😊

I hope they thrive for you , I love macadamias . I've got to go and give some TLC to the bush tucker area this weekend and hopefully everything is OK there. We had -2.4 this morning. Frost at my neighbours. Quite brisk. Lol. Now a slightly warmer few days before more chill. Keep warm lovely ❤❤

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Below zero is definitely no fun - but the warm days are great!!

[@Rippleaffect2]

Thanks for posting this

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

No problem!

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Fingers crossed for the trees. Frost is a real beggar in the garden. have a good week. =-)

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Frost is a challenge - especially for these little trees - just don’t want to have to start again (like I keep doing with my avocados!!)

[@Bernie5172]

Im wanting some frost to sweeten up my mandarins and navals.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

You can have mine Bernie haha!!

Good day and thank you for sharing the update on your nut trees growth . They are looking pretty good

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

They are doing great - just have to nurture them a little longer!!

[@timothyalanogrady]

@@huttonsvalleypermaculture I better I'm been doing a lot of research on the secret Forest AKA permaculture like you have going on . And we're about to move to Maine here in the USA right up by the US and Canadian border so we've been looking into cold cold climate fruit and nut trees to plant

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

How exciting!! Good luck with your move & future gardens!!
