When and how to harvest Macadamia Nuts?

Macadamia nuts mature in 6 to 7 months after flowering and must be allowed to ripen on the trees. The macadamia nuts fall to the ground between March and September. As the macadamia nut dries over the next few weeks, the moisture content falls and the kernel shrinks away from the inside of the shell. Then, this allows the shells to be cracked without damaging the kernel.
