We ensure that the variety is carefully selected and grafted with scions from mother orchards (where we rely on Australian and South African Mother Plants) to ensure quality yielding. Our nursery(s) and plant quarantine facilities are certified by the relevant government bodies such as Department of Horticulture, Govt. of Telangana, and the DPPQS, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Govt. of India.

At our exclusive Macadamia nursery based out of Hyderabad, now Indian farmers have access to quality planting materials where we primarily propagates grafted variety of Macadamia.
Our Nursery Process is Divided into 5 Stages:
1. Seeding: This involves careful selection of planting material to rise into the root stocks. They are then soaked in water and fungicide solution for 72 hours followed by drying in the shade. Then they seeded in a light sterile media such as river sand.
2. Growing Media Section: This section involves mixing the growing media into the correct ratio. The potting mixtures compose of fertile soils, manure and sand.
3. Transplanting: When the seedlings have developed 3 leaves and a bud they are transplant to the potting bag and kept under shade for 9 months.
4. Grafting: Scions are judiciously selected according to the variety we required. Cleft grafting is the most common. Seedlings are then placed in tunnels to control the relative humidity especially during the summer season.
5. Hardening-off: After the graft has taken and the union site healed, the seedlings are kept in direct sunlight to harden them off and make them ready for sale at the age between 18 to 24 months.
