Tamarinds are most popular for eating fresh, but they are also used in a variety of culinary dishes all over the world. Tamarinds are used to flavor jams and sauces like BBQ sauce. The sweet yet tart flavors complement meats, stir-fries and curry well. It’s also popular to flavor homemade beverages and to make desserts like ice cream.

Planting instructions

A Tamarind tree can survive in both full sun and partial shade conditions, but more sun makes for better growth in this plant. The area in which you choose to plant your Tamarind tree should also have slightly acidic soils and good drainage.

Begin the planting process by digging a hole that is as deep as the root ball is tall and twice as wide. After backfilling, be sure to provide a healthy layer of mulch above your plant’s roots to retain moisture in the soil.

Watering and nutrients
Giving your Tamarind tree the correct amount of water can be a challenge. While you’ll want to avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely, it can be just as bad to soak this tree too much. Try watering your Tamarind tree about once per week, and monitor the soil moisture to see if you need to change that rate.

Fertilization is a bit simpler for the Tamarind tree. All you’ll need to do on this front is provide a fertilizer with a 10-10-10 ratio about once every few months
