Water the tree once a week while it is still young. This is to ensure that the root system develops adequately.


Once it has matured, water the tree once a week during the summer and withhold from watering in the winter as too much water can result in the tree dying.


Fertilize your tree once or twice a year. Cashew trees don't need a whole lot of fertilization but if you do decide to use a fertilizer, it should contain:

Nitrogen

Zinc (as cashew trees can sometimes be zinc deficient.)

Phosphorus


Support the tree with a stake. This is particularly important while the tree is young and if you live in a windy climate.


Without doing this, it’s possible that the tree will be blown over and die. Staking up your tree is easily done with the right supplies.


Prune the tree often. This will ensure that you remove any dead or infected branches which, if left untouched, can spread to the rest of the tree.


Pay special attention to overcrowded branching areas as pruning generously here will encourage high levels of growth.


If diseased branches contaminate other parts of the tree, you risk having fruit infected and possibly the entire tree.


Remember to be patient. It takes three years total from sowing the seeds to harvesting the fruits off of the tree.
