I do apologise, but I do not think that this is a cashew tree, nor is it from Pirangi. Cashew trees have big, round, wide leaves and are common to tropical weather (neither appear to be the case in the video). Also, the Pirangi Cashew Tree (the biggest in the world) is way bigger than that tree and it's not located in a forest. It is in the middle of Pirangi Beach, in Parnamirim, Northeast Brazil. Here's a video showing it: https://youtu.be/cvwQ4w0qAZw?si=YWridih2l0CqpCi3

It might not be as glamorous as it is in the video posted, but it is still a marvel of nature and humungous in real life. It is definitely a must checking it out when in Northeast Brazil!

The Pirangi reminds me of oaks we have around here, lots of shade under the low canopy, and the branches eventually come down to touch ground 20-30' away from the trunk.
