Tamarindus indica
The Tamarind is one of the most widely grown and admired tropical fruit trees in the world, valued for both its delicious fruit and beautiful ornamental appearance.
A slow-growing but extremely long-lived tree, Tamarind develops a large spreading canopy with graceful branches and attractive fine foliage, making it an excellent shade tree for larger gardens and food forests. Mature trees are highly wind resistant and can live for generations.
The pod-like fruit contains a sticky brown pulp with a rich sweet-sour flavour that is widely used throughout Asian, Indian, African and Middle Eastern cuisine. Tamarind is famous for adding the distinctive tangy flavour and deep colour to curries, sauces, chutneys and drinks.
The young leaves are also edible and commonly used fresh in salads, curries and chutneys.
