Features:

• Nut Quality: The Cashew Nut Tree produces the distinctive cashew nut, a delicious and crunchy treat that's rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. The nuts are encased in a colorful, kidney-shaped shell, and are harvested for their delightful flavor and versatility in a variety of dishes.

• Appearance: This tree is visually captivating with its lush, evergreen leaves and vibrant, showy flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, or white. Following the flowers, the cashew apple develops, a unique, juicy fruit that adds an extra layer of beauty and interest to your garden.

• Harvest: Enjoy fresh cashews right from your tree! The nuts mature within the protective shell, which requires careful harvesting and processing to reveal the edible nut inside. The cashew apple, while not a nut, is also edible and can be used in cooking or beverages.

• Growing Conditions: Thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun exposure. Ideal for USDA zones 10-11, but can be grown in containers and brought indoors in cooler climates. Regular watering and occasional fertilization will promote healthy growth and a fruitful harvest.

• Care: The Cashew Nut Tree is relatively low-maintenance. It benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage new growth. It’s resilient to pests and diseases, though monitoring for common issues will help ensure optimal health.

• Size at Maturity: Reaches a height of 20-30 feet with a similar spread, making it a substantial addition to your garden. With proper care, it will continue to produce nuts for many years.

Embrace the chance to grow your own cashew nuts with the Cashew Nut Tree—an investment in both beauty and nourishment. Perfect for adding an exotic touch to your landscape or as a unique gift for gardening enthusiasts!
