Thread: Nuts

    Cashews, from what I understand, are quite complicated to harvest... if I recall correctly, the exterior of the cashew fruit is also toxic. I'd recommend research first.

    Funny enough my husband and I were just talking last night about how to grow pecans. Our neighbor had pecan trees and they used to produce so many he'd sell them at the farmers markets close by. They're not cheap in the stores, that's for sure! I think when I got them around Christmas time they were between three and four dollars a pound.

    Chris, thanks very much for that information! I was going to try find that out today after my husband and I chatting last night about them. You've saved me some legwork. I'm surprised they're so inexpensive actually.

    Almonds didn't seem to be tough to grow, thats one of the plants in our house which also grew on its own. My mom happened to visit some camp to some forest area from where she brought the plants and planted them in our house which grew well.

    Does anybody know if the cashew tree is sold anywhere? I love cashews and would love to try and grow one. I have been able to find one locally. They probably don't grow well in Arizona.

    If you've asked around at the local nurseries and can't find them, that's a good sign they don't grow well there. You might just go back and as them what kind of nut trees/plants they do have.

    mbtaluka:
    Do you mind if I ask what area you are in? I think this is very interesting and would love to give indoor almonds a shot if they have a chance in my home.

    Do pecans grow in US zone 5? I almost feel silly asking that, you would think I'd have noticed pecan trees growing around me. But, I have no idea. I know we have walnut trees.

    Well, the answer I usually get is, "We don't sell those. You can't buy those." The only thing I have found are walnuts, almonds and pecans. To me, it makes sense that peanuts and cashews would be hard to locate to grow on your own. They make too much money on them.

    I understand the "we don't have those." I might have words for someone bold enough to tell me what I could/couldn't buy.

    I believe what they are trying to say is that peanuts and cashews don't grow well in your area. I've never heard of a nursery not selling a crop because people make too much money off of it. Usually they will sell anything that grows in your area. But, that's just my experience. I don't know where you live or what the situation is.

    Here we can't grow citrus trees. They just won't grow outside. I do know of someone that successfully grew a lemon tree on her back porch, but it required a great deal of care and put out very little fruit. She did it because someone told her it couldn't be done.
