Tamarind Tree, (Imli) Tamarindus indica - it is a most attractive, small evergreen tree with wonderfully sweet Tamarinds, it is well known for their aromatic and distinctive flavour and medicinal properties. The tamarind is native to Africa and Madagascar and grows wild in India. It is also grown in Southeast Asia, Australia and South America. This tropical tree could grow really tall and nearly as wide under ideal conditions in frost-free climates. In Europe, it is best to prune the tree to keep it under a certain height. Due to risk of frost, it is recommended to keep it in a large pot, to protect it in the winter by moving it indoors/greenhouse.
The small yellow and red flowers appear on drooping clusters in spring, producing plump, 7-inch-long cinnamon-brown velvety pods. The sticky paste that surrounds two to three seeds inside the pods is used in curries, soft drinks and Worcestershire sauce. When grown from seed, a tamarind tree may not flower and produce its fruits until it is four or more years old.
