I found a seed in a Mexican candy and just put it in dirt and kept waiting and after a year I have a tiny tree. The leaves close at night. So cool.

[@mountaingardening]

The leaves are really cool! Our method will help fast track that year wait. Thank you so much for supporting our little channel!

[@rebeccaramjohn1920]

Whats the name of the candy ? Is it picarindo or tamarico ?

[@joebernes106]

@@rebeccaramjohn1920 i don't remember but its a blob of tamarindo candy in a white plastic spoon in cellophane.

Infinite gratitude for the information. Not many people are hip to Tamarind so no surprise not many people viewed/liked. Keep up the amazing work. The real ones see you!

[@mountaingardening]

Tamarind is one of our favorite trees so we love to grow it from seed. Thank you for your comment and thank you for seeing us!

[@hulahoney70]

I use this for a lovely traditional Filipino soup. So grateful for your video.

Great Video! Thanks Please do the updates!

[@miranderamexicana]

i threw a tamarind seed in a pot and forgot about it, months later a “random” plant starts growing i had no idea what kind of plant it was. Today set plant is almost 2 meters long and i just find out is THE FREAKING TAMARIND jajajajajajajaja

[@mountaingardening]

Holy cow! That’s a big tamarind!

[@marybrown8376]

Thank you!

[@user-uu1vx6fi3z]

I have 2 tamarind plants growing now. It took them forever to sprout, I almost gave up on them. I planted 5 more today using your technique. It will interesting to see if they sprout faster. Thanks for the video. I like your chill Montana voice. 👍

[@mountaingardening]

I hope this way works faster for you! Let us know how it goes! Thanks for watching!

[@user-uu1vx6fi3z]

@@mountaingardening The first sprout is visible pushing its way to the surface after 10 days 😀 Quite an improvement from the first ones I planted. They took about 2 months. Thanks again.

[@mountaingardening]

Good to hear and you’re welcome!

[@1ntuthukozwane]

Mine took 3 weeks to sprout just one out of 5. But, it's one more than I had yesterday.

[@vijayarumugam5370]

Nice ….Thank you….

Thanks for watching!

[@king_sayem4428]

Does the water from the kettle work? And can i wet a tissue then wrap another one on it and then put it in a plastic bag?

[@AntiQris]

Great video I’m trying your method right now brotha! Didn’t catch how long to sit in the hot water? Great and clear teaching though nice work.

[@mountaingardening]

Leave it in the water for a few minutes until you see it peel. The longer you leave it the more it should peel. Thanks for the feedback. And thank you for watching!

[@AntiQris]

@@mountaingardening I got 3 little guys with 4 leaf sets so far! Your method was perfect!

[@lachozidanesvalchanneltanaman]

love it

[@mountaingardening]

Thank you!

[@samueldcostawardenfromthed6855]

I have a 510 days old tamarind plant which is 28 cms long . It was trimmed last month and has grown Back better and busier. It for a bonsai.

[@mountaingardening]

My interest in bonsai started me on the path to gardening and growing food. We still have a few trees. Thank you so much for sharing your success! And thank you for your support!

[@xistsixt]

I've tried and tried and tried many times many years, and those things always were rotten in no time... I hope that works...😊

[@mountaingardening]

We have had great success with this method. You can as well!

[@shrektoddler9373]

How long were they in the water

[@mountaingardening]

About 5 min each time.

[@user-fs5jh8zw8j]

After you put them in hot water, can you wet a piece of paper towel, put the seeds inside that, and then put that in a plastic bag to germinate?

[@mountaingardening]

I’m sure you could. We’ve had really good results with this technique so we haven’t tried any other way.

[@jokerfilmproduction]

Hi, im from Italy, i have some 1year tamarind plant, can you suggest me some trick to get fast the growing?

[@mountaingardening]

Full sun will help a lot. But tamarinds are fairly slow growers and need time.

[@mashwehla]

I have a few seedlings that I planted in a 5" pot, when should I transfer it to individual pots as there are four in one pot now

[@mountaingardening]

Once you see the roots start filling the pot. That may mean you need to take them out to see the roots so be careful.

[@chrisnaewilliams9614]

Did you ever add water after putting them in ?

[@mountaingardening]

So I added water when I first planted them. You don’t want to water them again until they start to break the surface of the soil. They seem to not like a lot of water.

[@storkbreath]

Yes, boil the seeds as this is how they germinate in nature.

[@BreKali]

Lol thanks for Being that person. Made me laugh

[@storkbreath]

@@BreKali if you take a piece of sandpaper and rough up the surface of the seeds a little they'll absorb water better and germinate sooner though.

[@geriannroth449]

Did you soak them in warm water or hot water?

[@mountaingardening]

Hot water off of the stove. It takes a couple of minutes for them to peal. So have patience. Thanks for the support!

[@sarahferguson2614]

Is he boiled the seed through oven or put the hot water?

[@mountaingardening]

We heated the water on the stove top.

[@sarahferguson2614]

@@mountaingardening the seeds will not destroy after heat it?

[@demiovatofan4eva]

What soil do I need to get

[@mountaingardening]

We used store bought potting soil for houseplants. I’m sure compost would do great as well.

[@gubba2601]

Will this method help?

[@mountaingardening]

It does help them start growing faster. It gives them a jump start. Thanks for watching.

[@adammartincelusak886]

does this work with much larger seeds

[@mountaingardening]

It has worked for any tamarind tree seeds I have planted. Thanks for supporting us!

[@4057hofft]

Can I use the seeds from the dried candy version

[@mountaingardening]

I’m not totally sure what candy version you are talking about. But tamarind is very hardy so as long as the candy hasn’t been heated super hot I would say yes. Even if it does get super heated they still may grow. So give it a shot and let us know! Good question!

[@4057hofft]

It's the sugar coated sweet and sour flavored dried version it's bought at all Asian groceries store.

[@mountaingardening]

I’m going to have to find some and try growing it. Thanks for the idea! And thanks for watching!

[@kathleenferguson3642]

Volume to low on the tambrin video.

[@mountaingardening]

Sorry about that. We continue to learn how to better record our videos. Thanks for the feedback. We’ll try to fix that with future videos. Thanks for watching!
