Many types of nuts grow on trees. Here is a list of some of the most common tree nuts:
- Almonds
- Brazil nuts
- Cashews
- Hazelnuts
- Macadamia nuts
- Pecans
- Pistachios
- Walnuts
These nuts grow on trees, and they are distinguished from other tree-growing fruits, such as avocados or peaches, by their very hard outermost shell and the hard or leathery meat inside. Chestnuts, filberts, hickory nuts, and pine nuts are also examples of tree nuts. Peanuts, on the other hand, are legumes and grow underground.
In addition to these common tree nuts, there are other types of nuts that can be grown on a farm or in a garden, such as almonds, pecans, and pine nuts.
