The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the pennission of the Author. THE MACADAMIA INDUSTRY IN NEW ZEALAND A Thesis for the Degree of Master of Philosophy At Massey University Palmerston North Bernard Coleman Whangarei 2005 ABSTRACT The New Zealand macadamia industry has been characterised by many small plantings, lifestyle blocks up to 1500 trees and two commercial plantations with more than 10000 trees. Completed research programmes have been few, mainly because government funding in horticulture has been channelled to the needs of the major crops such as kiwifruit. Changes in political policy affected funding for minor horticultural crops and spasmodic cuts in finance severely hindered long-term research projects. Because of its small size the macadamia industry had limited funds available from members but some research programmes have been completed including pest control, tree nutrition, basal stain and future research needs. A private consultant, Ian Gordon has carried out variety trials on a local selection. Several selections have been planted in different locations and have proven to be useful in pollination of Beaumont, the main variety planted in New Zealand. Within the limits, set by climatic factors, the suitable growing areas are north of a line from New Plymouth to Gisbome. Both of those areas are marginal for commercial planting but sites on the sheltered north facing positions could grow satisfactory yields. Yields per tree, generally have been below commercial requirements.
