Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) is a fast-growing tropical evergreen tree prized for its kidney-shaped nuts borne below a fleshy, juicy cashew apple. Native to Brazil, it thrives along India's warm coastal belts of Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala and the Konkan. The spreading tree reaches 8-12 m, bearing leathery leaves and fragrant pinkish flower panicles before fruiting. Grafted plants begin yielding in about 3 years. It tolerates poor, sandy soils and salty coastal air, making it a reliable plantation and homestead crop. Both the roasted nut and the tangy apple (used in juice and feni) have strong commercial value.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water a cashew plant?
Water young plants twice weekly until established; mature trees are drought-tolerant and need watering only in prolonged dry spells.
How much sunlight does cashew need?
It needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct light daily, for healthy growth and good nut yield.
Is the cashew plant safe for pets?
The processed nut and apple are safe, but the raw shell contains a caustic oil that can irritate skin and mouths, so keep raw shells away from pets.
When can I repot or plant out a cashew sapling?
Transplant grafted saplings into the ground early, ideally at the start of the monsoon, as cashew dislikes prolonged container life.
How is cashew propagated?
Commercially it is propagated by softwood grafting onto seedling rootstock; seeds can also be used but give variable results.
Why are my cashew leaves and shoots dying back?
Tea mosquito bug is the main culprit; spray recommended insecticides during new flushes and at flowering.
When does a cashew tree start fruiting?
Grafted plants typically begin bearing in about 3 years and reach full yield by 7-8 years.
Can cashew be grown indoors?
No, it is a large outdoor tree that needs full sun and space; it is unsuitable for indoor growing.
Is any part of the cashew toxic?
The raw nutshell liquid is caustic and toxic if handled raw; roasting and processing make the nut completely safe to eat.
What fertilizer is best for cashew?
Apply a balanced NPK with farmyard manure twice a year, increasing potassium before flowering for better nut set.
