Crop netting
Hail netting for macadamias
A hail storm at the wrong time can strip flowers and damage developing nuts. We build net structures that keep macadamia orchards producing through the storm season.
We haven't found published South African trial figures for overhead netting on macadamias, so this page doesn't quote any. If you'd like to see results from netted macadamia orchards we've built, ask us.
What a net does
Why net your macadamias?
- Hail cover. The net takes the hail, protecting flowers, developing nuts and next season's buds.
- Wind shelter. Netting slows the wind across the orchard, cutting rub and broken shoots.
- Built for big trees. Macadamia trees are tall and long-lived, so the structure has to be high and strong. We size poles and cables to suit.
Questions
Macadamias netting FAQs
Can you net an established macadamia orchard?
Yes. We survey the block first, then design the structure around the existing trees and rows.
Which net do macadamias need?
It depends on your main risk, usually hail. We'll recommend a net type and shade level after the site survey.
