The Tamarind tree is a Leguminous  tree bearing edible fruit that is indigenous to Africa . The genus Tamarindus is a monotypic type of  tree , meaning in full  that it contains only this species. It belongs to the family fabaceae .

The tamarind tree produces a brown pod-like Fruit that contains a very  sweet, tangy pulp, which is used in the best Kitchens around the world. The pulp is also used in old traditional medicines and believe it or not as a shoe polish. The tree’s wood can be used for making furniture, carvings, turned objects such as mortars and pestles, chopping blocks, and other small specialty wood items the tamarind seed can be processed and produce Tamarind Seed Oil. AS a side note the tamarind’s younger  leaves are used in Filipino and Indian  cookery.

Because tamarind has multiple uses and purposes, it is cultivated around the world and Cambodia is an idle country for us to expand this production.

A good mature tree is capable of producing up to 180+ kg (396.83+ lb) of fruit per year. We advise following strict Veneer grafting techniques, shield T or inverted T budding, with air layering may be used to propagate desirable cultivars over time. Such trees will usually fruit within three to four years if provided optimum growing conditions in Cambodia.

The average lifespan of a  tamarind tree is well over  200+ years so this is an idle Tree for Planting Direct.
