Common Problems of Macadamia Nut in Hawaii

Abstract

Growers at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Hawaii Macadamia Nut Association were surveyed on their common macadamia problems, both minor and major, that new growers should know about. The problems identified by growers are the basis for the following discussion of common macadamia problems in Hawaii. Unlike most bulletins that deal with problems and their causes, this one is organized by symptoms and their location on the tree. Each problem is described briefly with accompanying photographs. These show outstanding features for recognizing the problem in the orchard. References for other publications and solutions (if known) are given.
