Usability

Guava water semarang as a fruit table
Guava semarang, as well as cashew water and cashew boll usually served as a fruit table. These three types of cashews have more or less similar and interchangeable uses. These fruits are generally eaten fresh, or served as one of rujak ingredients. Various types of guava can also be set up or made pickled.

Its hard and reddish wood is good enough to be used as a building material, provided it does not hit the ground.

Because sweet, cashew fruit is often attacked by larvae (larvae) fruit fly. Fly eggs and caterpillars are commonly found in fruits that are not securely closed during the tree.
