Arkin

Arkin is a macadamia cultivar of Macadamia integrifolia that can be found in local Florida nurseries. Macadamia integrifolia produces a creamy white kernel containing up to 80 percent oil and very little sugar, which develops a uniform color and texture when roasted. Native to Australia, macadamias thrive in climates similar to Florida's, tolerating mild freezing between 28 and 32 F, though mature trees are fairly frost hardy and can tolerate temperatures as low as 24 F; they do not tolerate excessive heat.
