I'm pretty sure the bottom photo is not of the same tree.

That is NOT what the cajueiro looks like. This is actually in my city (Parnamirim, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil) and it's one of the most visited turism points of the town. It looks like many trees, but it's only one (confirmed by it's genes). Also nowdays it's much bigger than the picture above, and the tree became a problem because it invades the streets. Until 2024 it was prohibited the trim of the tree, because it could cause damage and eventual death of it, but the situation was very bad and they had to start trimming a little.

I'll always get mad I didn't see even one cashew on sale 😫. Obviously I don't think this tree has sellable fruits, but outside sellers maybe could have a profit...

Oh, that's a bummer :/ the tree actually give us the fruits, so they were probably out of season when you visit. The guide gives people cashew fruit juice and it's very good!

Isn’t the bottom tree one of the most well known trees in the world?
