The varieties of macadamia grown in Kenya are macadamia integrifolia, macadamia ternifolia, and macadamia tetraphylla.
The three main varieties grown in Kenya with commercial importance are:
- Macadamia integrifolia
- Macadamia ternifolia
- Macadamia tetraphylla
M. tetraphylla is preferred for its ability to germinate uniformly, grow faster, and is considered somewhat easier to graft and transplant and produce slightly spindle-shaped nuts. Only two of these three species (Macadamia integrifolia and Macadamia tetraphylla) can be eaten raw.
