Cashew Tree
What kind of tree is it?
The Cashew tree hails from Brazil and is a branchy evergreen. The fruit is composed of two parts – a fleshy one similar to apples, which is actually its “false” fruit, and the dry cashew nut that we are familiar with. Cashew cultivation aids the economy of small rural communities in Senegal and protects land plots from fires.
