Exotic, long-lived, and deeply rooted in culinary tradition—the Tamarind Tree (Tamarindus indica) in a 15-gallon pot brings a delicious twist to South Florida’s edible landscape. Loved around the world for its tangy, aromatic seed pods, tamarind is a kitchen staple in Indian, Thai, Caribbean, and Latin cuisines, known for its bold flavor and versatile uses.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—a minimum of 6–8 hours per day for healthy growth and fruiting.

• Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish a deep root system. Once mature, the tree becomes highly drought-tolerant.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Enrich with compost for strong early growth.

• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer 2–3 times per year. Tamarind is a light feeder—compost and mulch often suffice.

• Growth Habit: Upright, wide-canopied tree with feathery foliage. In a 15-gallon pot, expect the tree to be 4–6 feet tall, with the potential to grow 40+ feet in the ground over time.

• Temperature: Best suited for USDA Zones 10–11. Heat- and drought-loving. Protect young trees from frost in rare cold snaps.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune only to shape or remove crossing branches. Naturally forms an attractive, umbrella-shaped canopy.

Fruit Notes: Produces long, brown seed pods with sticky, tart-sweet pulp used in drinks, sauces, candy, and spice blends. Typically harvested in late spring through summer.
