Tamarind Tree Grown from Seed (Tamarindus indica) Bring home one of the world’s most iconic tropical trees with this seed-grown Tamarind from Giardino Fresco. Native to tropical Africa and treasured across India, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America, tamarind is a long-lived evergreen prized for its feathery foliage, fragrant yellow-and-red flowers, and distinctive brown pods filled with sweet-tart pulp. That pulp is the flavor behind Worcestershire sauce, pad Thai, chutneys, aguas frescas, candies, and countless curries. These vigorous seed-grown trees offer strong roots, genetic diversity, and the classic tamarind look: fine pinnate leaves that cast light, airy shade and a spreading crown that becomes more sculptural with age. Fruit quality can vary from tree to tree—some lean sweeter, others more tart—but many produce excellent pods once mature. Expect a slow-to-moderate grower that can reach 30–80 feet in the tropics if unpruned, but is easily kept much smaller (10–25 feet) with pruning for Florida yards, large containers, or edible landscapes. Trees grown from seed typically take several years longer to fruit than grafted specimens, often beginning to bear in 6–10+ years under good conditions. Mature trees can be highly productive, with brittle brown pods that dry on the tree and are easy to harvest. Why grow tamarind? •  Unique sweet-sour fruit for cooking, drinks, and preserves •  Beautiful ornamental shade tree with fine, fern-like foliage •  Drought-tolerant once established; wind-resistant branches •  Multipurpose: fruit, shade, and traditional uses for leaves and wood •  A conversation piece for tropical collectors and food-forest growers Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil in USDA zones 10–11 (protect young trees from freezes below about 30°F). Once established it handles heat, humidity, and dry spells well—ideal for South Florida and other warm subtropical climates. Start your own tamarind journey with a healthy, well-rooted seedling from Giardino Fresco. Plant it, give it sun and time, and one day you’ll be cooking with fruit from a tree you grew yourself. Tamarind growing guide Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Tamarindus indica Listed size: 3 gallon pot; plant height varies Mature size: A slow-growing, long-lived tree that can reach 40–80 ft in the tropics. Usually much smaller in home yards, and easy to keep small with pruning. Sun: Full sun. Water: Very drought tolerant once established. Water regularly the first year. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: Zones 10–11. Mature trees tolerate brief temperatures near 28°F, but young trees should be protected from frost. Time to fruit: Seedling trees often take 5+ years to bear. Grafted or air-layered trees can fruit in about 3–4 years. Taste and uses: Pods are filled with sticky, sweet-tart pulp used in agua de tamarindo, chutneys, pad Thai, candies, BBQ sauces and curries. Sweet types are good for snacking straight from the pod. Container vs. in-ground: Tolerates container culture and pruning well. It's even a popular bonsai subject. Bigger tree, fairer price Plenty of online nurseries list a 1-gallon tamarind at the price you'd expect for a 3-gallon tree. Ours is a 3-gallon tree grown in Miami, so it gets established and toward fruiting sooner. Tamarind in the landscape Tamarind is wind-resistant and handles salt spray, sandy soil and South Florida's alkaline limestone. That makes it a good shade or specimen tree in frost-free yards. In cooler climates, grow it in a large pot and protect it in winter. How to use your tamarind Agua de tamarindo: soak the shelled pulp in warm water, strain, then sweeten and chill. Sauces and chutneys: tamarind paste adds tang to pad Thai, curries and BBQ sauce. Snacking: sweet tamarind pulp can be eaten straight from the pod. Care Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot. It handles sandy, rocky and alkaline soils well. Feed young trees lightly every 2–3 months in the warm season. Shape with light pruning while young. Pods are ripe when the shell turns brown and brittle. Frequently asked questions How long until a tamarind tree fruits? Seedling trees often need 5+ years. Grafted or air-layered trees can fruit in about 3–4. Is tamarind drought tolerant? Very. Once established, it needs little supplemental water. Can tamarind grow in a pot? Yes. It tolerates pruning and container culture well. How cold can tamarind handle? Mature trees survive brief dips near 28°F. Protect young trees from frost. Do you ship to my state? Yes. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions? Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125. Growing information is based on University of Florida IFAS Extension guidance. Results vary with climate and care.

Plant facts at a glance Botanical name: Mangifera indica What ships: Grafted plant, 12 in.+ listed Mature size: Standard mango trees can reach 30–40 ft or more in the ground. With yearly pruning after harvest, most home growers keep them at 10–15 ft. Sun: Full sun (8+ hours). Needs good drainage. Once established it tolerates South Florida's sandy and rocky soils. Water: Water deeply 2–3 times a week the first few months, then about weekly in dry spells. Established trees are fairly drought tolerant. Avoid soggy soil. Cold hardiness / USDA zones: USDA zones 10–11, and warm spots in 9b. Young trees are damaged near 30–32°F and mature trees at about 25°F. North of zone 10, keep it in a container or protect it from frost. Time to fruit: Grafted trees often flower within 1–3 years and fruit in about 3–4 years. Florida mangoes mostly ripen May–September, depending on variety. Taste and uses: Fresh eating, smoothies, juices, salsas, chutneys, desserts and drying. Green mango is used in pickles and salads. Container vs. in-ground: Compact ('condo') varieties do well for years in a 15–25 gallon pot with pruning. Standard varieties are best in the ground in zone 10b–11. Care Fertilize young trees lightly every 1–2 months in the growing season with a fruit-tree mix (for example 6-6-6 or 10-10-10 with minors), tapering off as the tree matures. Prune right after harvest to keep the tree low and open. Avoid heavy pruning in late fall, because that removes next year's flowers. Watch for anthracnose on flowers and fruit in wet weather. Good airflow and copper sprays (per label) help. Mulch 2–4 in. deep, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Frequently asked questions How long until a grafted mango tree fruits? Grafted trees usually flower within 1–3 years and set useful crops in about 3–4 years. Seedling trees can take 5–8 years. Can I grow a mango tree in a pot? Yes, especially dwarf or 'condo' types. Use a large, well-draining pot (15–25 gallons once established), prune after harvest, and move it inside if frost threatens. How cold can a mango tree handle? Young trees can be damaged near freezing (30–32°F). Cover or move potted trees when cold is forecast. Why are my mango flowers turning black? Usually it's anthracnose, a fungus that spreads in rainy or humid weather during bloom. Good airflow and a labeled fungicide during flowering help. Do you ship to my state? Yes. Ships nationwide, with shipping calculated at checkout. Local pickup in Miami and delivery in Miami-Dade also available. Questions? Call or text Tony at 786-774-2125.
