Description: Tamarind TreeHarvesting of the tamarind tree is usually done during the spring, from the beginning of March to the middle of April in Africa. In Asia, the harvesting season is from November until February.Tamarind is used in all kinds of culinary dishes. You can use it in pad thai, curry, chutney, sauces, and even drinks. When the tamarinds are ready to harvest, they will fall to the ground themselves. The inside of the pod will be a red-brown color, and the flesh will be juicy. The tamarind fruits are naturally sour, but they will sweeten a little bit as they ripen.Harvesting tamarind is extremely simple. The pods usually fall to the ground when they are ripe, and you can easily collect them that way. Tamarinds that are not ripe can be left on the ground until they are ready. To easily collect all of the fruit when it falls, spread a tarp on the ground below the tree.You can also shake the branches by climbing up a ladder for easier access. Additionally, you can simply pull the pod from its stalk if it is ripe. From here, the tamarinds can be sorted in bulk.Tamarind trees, or Tamarindus indica, are native to tropical Africa; they are also part of the pea family, or Fabaceae. Today, India is the largest manufacturer of tamarind. The tamarind trees can become huge and reach an incredible height of up to 80 to 100 feet with a spread of about 40 feet. The circumference of the trunk is about 25 feet.The fruit of the tamarind tree is small and is shaped similarly to a peanut. The inside of the pod of the tamarind is fleshy, juicy, and acidic. Varieties in Asia have more pods than those in African and West Indian varieties.The leaves are long and have a bright green color. The tiny yellow flowers begin to bloom in spring, and the fruit is ready to be harvested in May and June. Doni avocado has a smooth texture, light taste, and is close to fleshy, with large seeds in the middle. The tamarind is packed with nutrients, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium.Tamarind trees grow best in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11.
