Cashews

Also fruiting now is our lone cashew tree! This is one among several pilot seedlings we planted soon after acquiring the farm; at that time we would lap up any seedling we come across of anything that we do not have and just randomly plant it. Some we have already taken out since then (for a variety of reasons), but some stayed and flourished just like this. Of course we all know that the "nut" at the bottom gets roasted to become the snack that we know, but my staff says that the yellow drupe is just as edible.
