Abstract

In 2010, a tree that is part of Maryborough's history was lost. It was the parent of what has become one of the superior macadamia varieties widely planted in the Australian and international nut industry. This Bauple nut, Queensland nut or macadamia tree was given the name ‘Daddow’ and this is its story.
