We discovered that one of our neighbours had a cashew nut tree. I was excited because although both my daughter and I love cashew nuts, I didn't remember ever seeing how they grew. Now we know.
Here are pictures of flowers and fruits of the cashew tree / Anacardium occidentale / anacardier. Did you know the fruit too is edible? I remember eating cashew apple jam in Senegal long ago.
Now for the really good news: it appears that they are easy to grow. My daughter gleaned a few fallen fruit and we'll experiment with growing cashew trees. Exciting times ahead!
A friendly reminder: please contact me if you intend using any materials posted on this blog. It's nice, and it's the law. Thank you!
