Our Story

With a dream to successfully nurture their own macadamia trees, Paul and Helen began the search for a durable, reusable and reliable protection system to protect their investment. Unable to find a solution which fit their needs, Paul and Helen did what any great kiwi would - they made their own.

Now, from their orchard to yours, Paul and Helen are excited to share their innovation with horticulturalists across the country and internationally.
