Do Macadamia nuts grow in the US?

Answer 1

A macadamia nut is a very hard-shelled nut which is very tasty either raw or roasted. It is native to the eastern coast of Australia, where it is popular, either eaten alone or in cooking. The macadamia nut is also known as the "Queensland nut" or, in some area, "bauple nut" (pronounced "bopple").

Macadamia nuts grow best in a sub-tropical climate, and they are now cultivated in Hawaii as well.

Answer 4

No. Cashews are not actually nuts, but rather fruits from the cashew tree, a large evergreen tree that thrives in tropical climates. The tree produces red flowers, which in turn produce yellow and red oval structures resembling apples. These so-called cashew apples are very juicy and pulpy, and their juice is often added to tropical fruit drinks.

However, 'cashew apples' are not actually fruits in a scientific sense; the real fruit (nut) of the cashew tree is the kidney-shaped formation growing at the end.
