Plant ID -. Are these Canistels
« on: August 12, 2018, 08:33:39 AM »
Got these from a friend who planted seeds a while ago.
He believes they were Canistels.
The leaves do look similar but not the same as a Canistels that I have. 
Can anyone help ID these.
There are 3 plants in a pot, just multiple photos.

Look like some anacardium species or anyway some anacardiacee

Yah, looks related to cashew. Leaf should have a pepper smell.

I will check if he also planted cashew around the same time. 
Did not look like the pictures of cashew leaves i have seen online which are more rounded but on close inspection there is what looks like dried small cashew seeds in the pot, might have been the husk of the seed that was planted.


Thanks for the suggestion.

When the cashew plants become adults--- start flowering--- the leaf shape will change some.

On many species, juvenile leaves are larger than adult leaves--- sounds counter-intuitive, doesn't it!
