Good job, a piece of advice though... i see that you are planting the dwarf varieties if am not mistaken...if that's the case, I suggest, to better utilize the land, plant the trees close by, say at a spacing of 6*6...with that spacing you would have more trees per acre at younger age which implies increased production yield per acre...as trees grow and requiring more space, you remove the trees in between every 12 metres.... eventually your spacing would be12*12...though you would have fewer trees per acre, the deficit would be compensated with bigger trees producing more Kgs per tree...
As someone, who lived in South America and Australia, Cashew nuts is a solid investment. Can easily be in an agroforestry set up, with small animals like goats, geese and Guinea fowl. Wish him all the success and Harvest.
@@hassanmakame What part of Tanzania are you in? The reason I ask is my wife and I just bought land in Bagamoyo area. We are looking for like minded people that we can link up with.
Congratulations David. Indeed you are a risk taker. We have always been made to believe that cashew nuts can only grow in coast. I will try with some few trees.
I am working in gulf the cashew nuts are sourced from India the shelf price is soo expensive for an average worker, one kilo in supermarket is around 1200 kshs I would like to plant in bungoma County not as hot as makweni but warm enough.
Its interesting how he found local nuts and growing and decided to propagate them. Wish he could have talk more about that more. What were the initial wild nuts look like and the process of propation. Did he get the wild nut trees and propagate them with with which trees. What benefits do the wild nut trees have. could they be more disease resistant, grow faster, create a different variety of cashew etc
I just bought land and Bagamoyo Tanzania. My wife has asked me to grow cashews. We could easily do one or 2 acres of cashews. In between the trees is it possible to grow ground cover crops peanuts or sweet potatoes?
The spacing from one tree to the next is 10mtrs. That is so much space. Yes you can. Paw paws too, or even pineapples, if they grow well in that region.

Bells indeed.....and hopefully it can work in Southern Africa just as well 🤞🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I noticed bees polinating on the flowers. may be it would also be advisable to keep bee hives for quicker growth

2ft x 2ft x 2ft
Can they do well in nyeri
They require lots of water. In a dry land, that means irrigating. Where's the water coming from?
how can i get seedlings from Uganda
Good job,can I do this in busia

Is possible for someone to visit u in Kenya
What do you plan to do with the fruit?
@Let’sGrow AndProsper thank you for the the response, I meant the cashew apple not the nut. Will it be discarded or will there be some value addition
The fruit can be eaten when ripe. You can also make juice fruit
@@blesseddavid814 all thank you so much.
