Why should the amazing Tamarind tree be a part of your edible garden in the sub tropics to tropical regions.
This tree has the most amazing edible sour leaf.
You can make a paste from the pods and it’s a perennial so it will grow for years in your backyard and supply you with food for a lifetime.
Keep in mind it grows hugs if you put it into the ground.
If you have minimal space just grow it in a container and use the leaves!

Hello again Marty😊
Another sweet and sour show as always. 💚🌲🌊🤙
Yewwwwwww….
Compost me up baby 🤙
Keep on sharing the good news brother 🙏
I had an old one in a house I was renting years ago. No grass grew under it. I could only reach halfway around the trunk. It was easily 6-10m tall. Every year I’d eat heaps of the fruit and use some in cooking. I didn’t know about eatable leaves 👌. If I was to plant one in my yard it’d be way up the back corner or in a spot where it wouldn’t block any sun to the rest of the yard 🍺🍺
Tamarind The tree hat keeps on Giving We have 3 in our Asian properties. Collect the pods when they come and pound then soak them for Tamarind sauce go to an Asian shop and see how much they charge for a 100 mil Jar We have an Australian relative Diploglottis australis ( But the Thai Tamarind is far better taste and productive You again are spot on Tamarindus indica is the one you are holding and yes it is a legume like. But hungry bugger in most types of soil I think Brissie council and even Darwin have planted them as street tres Lots of shade and the Cockies also love the pods (messy buggers) the good news it tolerates drought and also periods of wet feet look after itself pretty much after about 7 months in the ground . do a search on it as also now been proven to have verified medical use by respected medical scientists. BEWARE Marty it will grow your location to a bloody BIG tree maybe talk to the bloke over the back fence and dplant it in a 44-gallon drum so the cattle don't destroy it when the area floods will soak up heaps and provide shade for the cattle as the climate warms I will go and scrounge /buy one and put on the verge let it and the dreaded cape Lilacs fight it out God fine there Marty
Lovely looking tree. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Hi Marty, I really enjoy your videos, thanks. Can you possibly explain what you use to create your big compost mounds? I don't seem to have enough garden waste (I mostly do chop and drop) and kitchen scraps with which to make enough compost for what I need to feed my garden beds sufficiently.
