HOW TO GROW CASHEW NUT TREE :

 
Note: Always wear gloves when handling Cashew Tree seeds as they can cause itchy skin similar to poison ivy.

Step 1

Cashew seeds should only be sown once minimum temperatures are consistently above 10°C/50°F.

Start by soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours. Change the water at least once during the day to ensure the water remains fresh and clean.

Step 2

Use containers to begin with so that the developing plants can be moved to suit conditions when seasons change. Choose a good quality seed raising mix that drains well and fill a 20cm (8 inches) pot for every 2-3 seeds.

Next, sow the seeds roughly 4-5 cm (2 inches) deep, allowing room for the other seedlings and cover them with soil and water them in.

Leave the containers in a bright location that can maintain a temperature above 20°C/68°F with 25°C/77°F being optimal.

Keep moist and warm throughout the germination period which can range from between 5 days and 3 weeks.

Ideal temperatures for germination are around 25-30°C/77-86°F.

Step 3

Once sprouted, gradually increase the number of direct sunlight hours. Be careful not to let the soil dry out.

If temperatures look likely to drop below 10°C/50°F during the seedlings first full year, they should be brought indoors or inside a greenhouse.
Fully mature Cashew trees can experience severe damage at 7°C/44°F.

Continue to keep the soil moist but not too wet.

Step 4

If growing in containers, up pot every second season during autumn or winter when the plant is more dormant.

If planting out into the garden, choose a position in full sun and dig a hole roughly 50cm (2 feet) deep and 30cm (1 feet) wide for each tree. With the removed soil mix through some woodchips, perlite or garden sand to ensure the soil drainage is excellent. Plant the tree in the hole, fill around with the loosened soil and mulch the base before watering in.

Once established Cashew Trees will survive temperatures as low as 10°C/50°F but will only produce large quantities of good nuts when temperatures stay above 20°C/68°F for most of the year.

Additional water is advised during hot dry summers.

Depending on conditions, Cashew Trees can begin to flower and produce nuts in around 3-7 years.
