I'm speaking now with Shem prashad poteau who is a research scientist here in pulmonology which is a fruit science. Can you tell us what trees are we in now in this part of the research station? What are these trees? That's the macadamias okay macadamia we have two species of macadamia on its macadamia integrity project and macadamia tetra Pilar species are available here okay and these came from where what is the origin of the problem the literature we found that the origin is southwestern part of Australia. Okay, rain forest, Australian rain forest, okay. The origin of this crop from the air distributed all over the world.

Okay. So now this is interesting. Here we are in poker in a Paul in the Himalayas. We're growing macadamia nuts. So right off the top this would not be something that would be logically probable yet here we are in a lush plantation of macadamia. When did these get planted?

When did they start it started in 2014 and vs means it is about 1993 99 here okay come from that that is more than 25 okay so more than 25 years more than 25 years old these trees, but you see some very large growers here very large trees, but due to the turning pruning practices, the trees are maintained his height and it saved his tractor or are maintained so it it is not largely covered It is it maintains this height and this Banshee the natural height and branching has been somewhat prevented they've been dwarf as they came up a little bit a little bit it is controlled their controlled growth because by handing off the of the large trees is very difficult. Okay, from the spraying and harvesting and Mannering many difficulties due to many difficulties, okay is maintained. Okay? So you would recommend or at least in your example, when you're growing nuts are like macadamia nuts in this example, to go ahead and dwarf the trees to maintain an easier management before they are fully mature and they're able a little bit more able to be on their own and without a lot of the headaches when they're younger disease and have sex Sex yeah and people robbing the fruits and etc etc.

That is the big problem. backdate but nowadays we maintained our walls and Gavin Gavin wire and when was okay I still have money so it becomes less problem of okay so who are a garrison here? You're an actual you're an actual fort of natural products that you you're guarding on the inside. Wonderful Sham I want to thank you for being with us and appreciate you imparting your knowledge about these these macadamia nuts with us
