Description

The tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica), which belongs to the legume family (Fabaceae), originates from African dry forests and savannas. For many centuries, it has been cultivated for its fruits in subtropical and tropical areas all over the world, but especially in India.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

The seed is only lightly covered with soil, which is carefully pressed and watered. The planting container should be warm. As soon as cotyledons appear (you often have to wait eight weeks for this), the tamarind needs a bright place. A transparent plastic lid keeps the humidity high. Fertilize only after about eight weeks, before that the young plant takes care of itself from the reserves in the seed.
