Welcome to
North Route Nursery
North Route Nursery is located 8 Km off the Great North Road along the Bumi Road (near Fringilla) in Chisamba, Zambia
The nursery is set-up to facilitate the propagation and grow-out of Macadamia grafted seedlings and clonal cuttings of select varieties as well as grafted Avocado. All of our seedlings are grown at our nursery for up to 12 months. During this time plants are nurtured and monitored to ensure that we produce the highest quality field-ready tree.
Our close working relationship with our South African supplier, ensures that we source, grow and supply farmers with true cultivars, are always at the cutting-edge of industry practice and that we provide growers with on-going support and technical expertise derived directly from the industry experts.
We are centrally located to supply the sub-Saharan region and experienced in exporting seedlings to Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

North Route seedlings are considered “field-ready” once they reach 70+ cm and have a well-developed root system. Our tees are dispatched in 4L plant bags, staked, stems painted and colour-coded with tape for ease of variety identification.


The Team

North Route Nursery was established in October 2017 by Peter & Lara Deary.
Faced with the challenge of sourcing macadamia trees (of true cultivars) in Zambia, we were intrigued by the idea of growing and supplying high quality macadamia seedlings locally. And so, North Route Nursery was born.
Working closely with the South African nurseries guarantees that we source the best genetics and can rely on decades of experience and knowledge to ensure that we produce “perfect plants”. Not only does this mean that we can supply superior, field-ready trees in Zambia and the region, but can also provide farmers with a support system when the trees are in the ground.
With roots in the Mpumalanga Lowveld (which over the past 20 years has become one of the biggest macadamia nut producing regions in the world) and frequent visits to Kiepersol, we have also been fortunate enough to tap into a strong knowledge base and continue to receive input and support from some of the top growers in that area.
Having lived in Zambia for the past 9 years, it has been encouraging to see the recent push towards macadamias. With world-wide statistics suggesting a continued and growing demand for this super food, we feel positive that Zambia could become a top producer of macadamias globally in the not-so-distant future!
