Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this product consists of harvested leaves, understanding the growth habits of the cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) provides insight into the quality of the leaves. Cashew trees thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, preferring warm temperatures and consistent moisture. They are generally robust plants, but for optimal leaf production, specific conditions are beneficial. If you plan to grow your own cashew tree in the future, consider these aspects.

Cashew trees require abundant sunlight, typically needing at least six hours of direct sun per day to flourish. They prefer well-draining soil, ideally sandy loam, and are somewhat drought-tolerant once established. However, consistent watering, especially during dry periods, promotes healthy leaf development. The trees are not frost-tolerant and will suffer damage in temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Fertilization can be done with a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season to encourage lush foliage. While our fresh cashew leaves are ready for immediate use, knowledge of their origin ensures you appreciate the natural care involved in their cultivation.
