Cashew Tree
The cashew is the king of the nuts
The cashew tree is an evergreen that grows quickly and fruits young -- not to mention how handsome its lush foliage and interesting green-and-red flowers are! A sun and heat lover, all it asks for is good soil drainage, plenty of water, and freedom from frost. Pop it into a large container and let it beautify the deck, porch, or patio from spring through fall, then bring it indoors as a winter houseplant. The trees produce fruit very quickly, usually about 3 months after flowering. It flowers in winter, and fruits 2 to 3 months later.
