Product description
Cashew Seeds
Cashew, botanically known as Anacardium occidentale, is a tropical evergreen tree valued for its kidney-shaped nuts and distinctive cashew apples. It is commonly cultivated in warm tropical regions and can be grown in suitable home gardens, orchards, and agricultural landscapes. Cashew trees prefer warm weather, plenty of sunlight, and well-drained soil. For planting, choose viable, correctly identified cashew seeds or fresh nuts intended for propagation, as roasted or processed cashews will not germinate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about cashew seed selection, tree production, and growing cashews at home.
Can I grow a cashew tree from a raw cashew nut bought from a store?
Not every store-bought cashew is suitable for planting. Many commercially sold cashews have been heat-treated during processing, making them unsuitable for germination. Choose fresh, viable cashew seeds specifically intended for propagation and follow the supplier's planting instructions.
How long does a cashew tree take to produce its first nuts?
A cashew tree grown from seed may take several years to begin producing fruit, and the timing depends on the growing environment, tree health, and genetic characteristics. Seed-grown trees can also vary in productivity and nut quality. For more predictable orchard production, locally recommended grafted planting material may be preferable.
What climate and soil are best for growing cashew trees?
Cashew trees generally perform best in warm tropical conditions with plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil. Sandy or loamy soils can be suitable where drainage is good. Young plants need appropriate moisture during establishment, but prolonged waterlogging should be avoided. Choose a site suited to local rainfall and temperature conditions.
