Possible definitions for macadamize


macadamia
Any of about 10 species of ornamental evergreen trees in the family Proteaceae, and their edible, richly flavored dessert nuts. Macadamias originated in the coastal rain forests and scrubs of NE Australia. Those grown commercially in Hawaii and Australia are principally of two species, the smooth-shelled Macadamia integrifolia and the rough-shelled M. tetraphylla. Macadamias are grown in quantity also in parts of Africa and S. and Central America. Hard to propagate and slow to bear, the trees grow only in rich, well-drained soil with 50 in. (130 cm) of rain annually. Fragrant pink or white flower clusters on trees with large, shiny, leathery leaves produce bunches of 1-20 fruits. The nuts contain much fat but are a good source of minerals and vitamin B.
