Majestic, long-lived, and flavor-packed—the Tamarind Tree (Tamarindus indica) in a 45-gallon pot is a stunning tropical centerpiece that brings both shade and edible delight to your South Florida garden.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Loves full sun—aim for 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and pod production.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency—tamarind is drought-tolerant once mature. Deep, occasional watering is ideal.

• Soil: Thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Add compost to improve fertility, especially in nutrient-poor soil.

• Fertilizer: Light feeder. Apply a balanced organic fertilizer twice per year. Compost and mulch are usually sufficient for healthy growth.

• Growth Habit: Wide-canopied, slow-to-moderate growing tree with delicate, feathery foliage. In a 45-gallon pot, expect it to be 6–8 feet tall, with the potential to grow 40–60+ feet over time in the ground.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Perfectly adapted to South Florida’s tropical conditions. Young trees should be protected from frost.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune to shape or control size. Its natural, umbrella-like form makes it a beautiful shade provider.

Fruit Notes: Produces long brown pods with sticky, tangy pulp surrounding shiny seeds. Used fresh, dried, or in paste form for sauces, beverages, candies, and marinades. Ripens in late spring through summer.
