Pirangi cashew

World’s Largest Cashew Tree – Pirangi cashew tree in Brazil is a 100 years old cashew tree covering nearly 2 acres of ground.

It was planted in 1888 by a fisherman who was unaware that the tree had a genetic mutation that would allow it to eventually take over so much space. When the branches of the tree touch the ground, it puts down roots and keeps growing, unlike a typical cashew tree.

It entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1994 and covers an area of about 7,300 square metres. The size of 70 normally sized cashew trees and has a circumference of 500 meters. It is now difficult to distinguish the initial trunk from the rest of the tree. The tree produces over 60,000 fruits each year.
