Nice! I went to A tree for me in Sabastian a few years back and got some trees..I got them on discount after Matthew...lol..Not sure if its the same place you went.. I would like to take another trip there one of these days.. I got a Florida prince peach tree and Barbados cherry.. A couple other things, I forget.. I just got some tamarind seeds from my neighbor.. Gonna see if I can get them going.. Thanks for posting, greetings from the Space Coast..👍🇺🇸✌

Oh wow! Yes, that place is really cool (A TREE FOR ME). Time for me to go back down and drop 300 on some palms. I want a royal and a couple more picabeans.

@@EatYourBackyard Nice, I need to take a trip down there again one of these days... This year I am trying to expand more on hot weather vegetables and see what does well. I need to create more shade.. Take care✌

I had brought back tamarind seeds from Puerto Rico. Not sure what kind they are but they tasted sour/sweet when I was eating them. I sprouted mine in a damp paper towel. I now have one growing in a pot but it's getting a little pot bound. It was not growing straight up. It was more so growing outward with very long horizontal branches. I think it's about time to put it in the ground though. Just trying to decide where.

[@EatYourBackyard]

I would place them in a very sunny spot. I am glad I staked mine, they definitely want to grow in a low weeping way.

@@EatYourBackyard ok I will do that! Thanks for the advice!!

The sweet tamarind are grafted? I have germinated seeds from tamarind sold in 1 pound mini bricks . Don’t know how old bricks are. Apparently the acid keeps seeds viable. Just lightly scratch/file a small part of seed with sandpaper or nail file then soak overnight or plant immediately .

I grew mine from seeds. Please check out my new band (called Hunnitap) if interested, my performance Live Streams are coming soon on Jedi Jingle Maker (my original music KZbin channel, please sub if not already and leave a comment, thanks!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqbFaIWwZ96sjtk I am also on all major music platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, KZbin Music, etc.) as Jedi Jingle Maker.

I love tamarind but they make my teeth very sensitive so I don't eat it very much. They look like they are in the acacia family like black locust or desert acacia tree.

[@EatYourBackyard]

Yeah, the leaves are those cool multi leaf almost fern like look.
