A cashew tree is transplanted and grows to a height of approx. 6m to 8m in 5 years' time.
No, cashew nuts are not a root crop; they are actually seeds that grow on the cashew apple, which is the fruit of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale). The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces both the cashew nut and the cashew apple. Root crops, on the other hand, are plants grown for their edible underground parts, such as potatoes and carrots.

Pinch the buds back by hand as soon as you see them. Remember, no flowers, no fruit . This will also force the growth back and make a fuller but shorter tree next year. Are the blossoms so much of a problem? I would love to have my own fresh cashew butter.
A cashew tree produces one seed per fruit, which is the cashew nut. The cashew fruit, also known as the cashew apple, is an accessory fruit that grows at the end of the stem, with the cashew nut attached to it. Each cashew nut is encased in a hard shell, and the edible part is the seed inside.
Cashews come from a tree. They are found inside the stem of a fruit that grows on the tree, called a cashew apple or, in Portuguese, a cajú . The fruit makes a delicious juice, but the cashew nut is the main commodity. The stem where the cashew nut comes from contains an acid-like oil that must be burned out of the stem, which roasts the nut inside, before the nut can be eaten. This is a very labor-intensive process which explains why cashew nuts are so expensive.
Cashew nuts are not exactly nuts, they are rather fruits of the cashew tree. These fruits look like apples, and the formation that grows at the end of them is what actually become the cashew nut, after a long process of roasting. The cashew tree originally grows in tropical climates such as Brazil, the tree is now widely grown in tropical regions, Vietnam and Nigeria, India, the Ivory Coast and Indonesia.
A cashew tree produces a single seed per fruit, known as the cashew nut. The cashew apple, which is the fleshy part of the fruit, can contain one seed at its base. Therefore, each cashew fruit contains just one seed.
