Cashew Apples - are you missing those fruits? (mundiri pazham, kollam pazham)
Hi Everyone -- I trust you and family are doing well. I see that, we are coming out of COVID, everything almost opened up and we are almost there. Trust, things are getting better and better. In this blog, I am sharing little about "Cashew Apples". The season is coming, coming... :). It is a summer fruit. When I was a kid, this fruit used to be there everywhere during summer. i.e. from April to May. In our farm, we "had" many cashew trees, but all were gone during drought and some were infected. We used to produce around 2 tons of cashew shells during the peak and perfect season. Now, I am maintaining ONLY 10 trees. But, these 10 trees do give lots of happiness during summer season, which I will share here. These fruits are in RED and Yellow colors. See the fruit below, in a perfect fresh condition. As of this week, tree is like below. i.e. Cashew apples will be ready in next two weeks. If weather turns out to be in-favor, then we will have a good yielding.
