allybanana says... As a child in Papua New Guinea we would buy the fruit at the markets the locals were horiffied at us when we cut open the seeds for the meat, as the seed coat is highly corosive and burns the skin, they considered the seeds posinouse as a result. I have heard that cashew processing in some places is a big problem with child laborers loosing the skin from their fingers. | About the Author allybanana EDEN, NSW 15th May 2015 12:30pm #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... My dwarf cashew is struggling, the leaves are yellow and not very healthy looking at all. I could have burnt the roots in it's young stage, so I've been vey careful with fertilizer ever since. It's now just starting to get some colour in the leaves so It appears the roots are on the mend. There is also a Super dwarf Cashew around if you look hard enough, but it's not grown for the nut. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 15th May 2015 3:35pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Temp hasn't been an issue so far, and I now have them in my newly completed polyhouse. I'm fairly sure I burnt the roots when they were younger, so now I'm cutting back on the water and giving them a weak soluble feed through the leaves and seasol. There is new growth starting to happen and the leaves are slowly showing green again. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 16th May 2015 2:39pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
