This compact, single-trunked, evergreen tree has 4-inch-long, glossy, dark green, divided leaflets and makes an ideal shade, specimen, patio or poolside tree. It is popular in many yards and is used as a small to medium-sized street tree spaced about 20 feet apart. The insignificant small lime-green flowers are followed by 1/2-inch diameter, green fruits which split open to reveal seeds but do not squash or stain. C. anacardioides is a monoecious, evergreen tree that grows to 10 m tall in Australia, and similarly in the USA. It has a rounded canopy with dense foliage. It is called carrotwood because the inner bark and young tap root often appear orange.
