I have a cashew tree, here in Florida, which I purchased at about 2 feet tall, and it is now around 8 feet tall. It does not like the cold. I hope for it to produce in another 4-5 years. Interestingly, I am after the juice from the apple. It is sweet like a mango, but even better. In south America it is mixed with Brazilian rum and is kind of the national drink there.
