Is it possible to buy potted quick maturing grafted macadamias a few years old so as to reduce the time before you get nuts?

I purchased a 3 year old tree, in a pot, and once it was planted in the ground it shot away. 2 or 3 years later it was bearing fruit and now 5 or 6 years on it has quite a crop on it. I do not believe my tree was grafted. Mike
