Description:	In 1996, 11 clones with orange to red colored apples (consumers' preferences) were selected within an experiment of clone competition and evaluation set up under dry conditions in Pacajus, Ceará, Brazil. Clone CAP-29 (CCP-76) was used as control. From the 11 clones evaluated, only one was inferior to the control for apple color. Clones CAP-11, CAP-15 and CAP-22 stood out as significantly (p<0.05) firmer than the control, which suggests that they might have extended shelf lives compared to the others. As related to the physical characteristics of the selected cashew apples, it was found that clones CAP-02, CAP-11 and the control CAP-29 (CCP-76) produced average apples (type 4), the most distinguished for market purposes. No significant difference was found among the clones for soluble solids and acidity, whose mean contents were respectively 11.88 °Brix and 0.36%. The amounts of soluble solids (around 10 °Brix) in this experiment were above those usually reported for cashew in Brazil.
