Tamarindus indica

Description: The tamarind is a long-lived, medium-growth tree, which attains a maximum crown height of 25 metres. The crown has an irregular, vase-shaped outline of dense foliage. The tree grows well in full sun. It prefers clay, loam, sandy, and acidic soil types, with a high resistance to drought and aerosol salt (wind-borne salt as found in coastal areas). The evergreen leaves are alternately arranged and pinnately lobed. The leaflets are bright green, elliptic-ovular, pinnately veined, and less than 5 centimetres in length. The branches droop from a single, central trunk as the tree matures, and are often pruned in agriculture to optimize tree density and ease of fruit harvest. At night, the leaflets close up.

Flowering and Fruiting: April to August.

Economic Importance: Tamarind is a multipurpose plant as almost all parts of the tree are used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and textile industries.
