It is a short, stocky, low-spreading, ever-green tropical tree. It flowers once a year, between the months of November and January. The fruit ripens fully within 2 months. The nuttiest feature of cashew is that it is attached to the lower portion of the cashew apple which looks like a fruit, but in reality it is the enlarged stem of the cashew tree. The cashew nut can be seen sitting snugly under the soft belly of the cashew apple. Together, it is one of the fascinating sights of nature.
