• May begin fruiting in as little as two years under favorable conditions; actual timing varies.

Important Cashew Nut Safety Information
Cashew shells contain a caustic oil that can irritate or injure skin. Raw, in-shell cashews should not be handled or roasted at home without appropriate commercial processing and safety precautions. Roasting can release irritating fumes, so it must not be done indoors or in an enclosed area. Do not treat unprocessed nuts as ready to eat.

Shipping & Plant Notes

Live plants may experience some stress during shipping. Unpack promptly and give your tree time to adjust to its new environment. Fruiting depends on maturity, climate, and growing conditions; fruit is not guaranteed upon arrival.
