Climate, Altitude, and Soil – The Veracruz Advantage

Macadamias prefer mild temperatures, generous rainfall, and well‑timed dry periods that encourage flowering, and the highlands of Veracruz check every one of those boxes.

Elevations along the slopes that face the Gulf of Mexico keep temperatures moderate while the moist air delivers abundant rain during much of the year.

Successful macadamia regions worldwide often target annual rainfall around 1,000–1,500 mm and stable temperatures that avoid extremes, a pattern that is common in Veracruz’s coffee–macadamia belt. Deep, well‑drained loamy and volcanic‑influenced soils let roots explore, drain excess water, and hold enough moisture to support the trees through short dry spells.

These same hillsides already support long‑lived perennial crops like coffee and shade trees, which shows how well the environment suits tree crops. Adding macadamias into this mix builds on a proven ecological foundation instead of fighting against it. Explore the full property listing:
