741
A tier
741 is a widely planted Hawaiian macadamia selection (often linked with the Keaau name in industry talk) valued as an industry standard for commercial kernel production. Meats are buttery, creamy, and suited to style grading for snacks and dessert use. Numbered Hawaiian cultivars helped growers track performance more tightly than mixed seedling orchards. Flavour stays in the classic mild-rich macadamia lane. Specify 741 when contracts list Hawaiian numbered genetics. Judge deliveries on colour and aroma. Strong for roasting lines and gift-style wholes. Keep cool—standard industry cultivars still age in warm storage. Sample before large butter batches if oil freshness is unknown.

History
741 type macadamia was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread 741 beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
741 entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request 741 for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
