849
B tier
849 is a Hawaiian numbered macadamia selection used in commercial orchards for creamy, buttery kernel production. It diversifies Hawaiian plantings alongside other numbered cultivars so growers are not locked to a single clone. Kernel character matches premium snack expectations when drying and storage are careful. Specify 849 on farm-level contracts; judge retail bags by freshness first. Suitable for roasting, gift styles, and baking chips. Keep cool or frozen. Numbered genetics do not slow oxidation—smell every lot.

849 entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request 849 for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
