H2 Hinde Tree, Heritage macadamia tree at Colliston, Gold Coast, Australia

The H2 Hinde Tree stands eight meters tall at Colliston farm, marked with an orange metal tag identifying it as a significant parent specimen.

Michael James Hinde discovered native macadamia seedlings in 1879 and replanted them on his farm, leading to the establishment of this particular tree in the 1920s.

The tree became central to Australia's macadamia industry development, providing essential genetic material for commercial orchards across the country from the 1960s to 1980s.

Located nine kilometers southwest of Nerang, the H2 Hinde Tree continues to serve as primary rootstock material for macadamia propagation in Australian nurseries.

This specimen remains the last surviving tree from three originally tagged at Colliston and represents one of only two Australian varieties receiving official commercial endorsement.
