This species reaches \u003cstrong\u003e20-30 meters in height\u003c\/strong\u003e under optimal conditions, forming a distinctive dense, umbrella-shaped crown. The name \"tamarind\" comes from the Arabic \u003cem\u003etamr hindi\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning \"Indian dates,\" reflecting the long tradition of cultivating this species in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eBotanical Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe leaves of \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eTamarindus indica\u003c\/strong\u003e are pinnate and measure \u003cstrong\u003e7-12 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in length. They consist of small, elongated leaflets that exhibit a fascinating nyctinastic movement – folding in the evening and unfolding in the morning in response to changes in light. This adaptation helps the plant regulate transpiration and conserve water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe flowers are arranged in clusters, emit a delicate fragrance, and appear in shades of cream, yellow, or pink. As insect-pollinated plants, they require pollinators for effective fertilization. After pollination, characteristic elongated pods develop, maturing over approximately \u003cstrong\u003e10 months\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eGrowth and Development\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe tamarind tree grows relatively slowly but compensates with exceptional longevity. Under favorable conditions, the first flowering can occur as early as \u003cstrong\u003e3-6 years\u003c\/strong\u003e after sowing, making it a relatively early fruiting tropical tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eCultivation Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis species shows high tolerance to various soil types, including poor, rocky, and even slightly saline substrates. Optimal conditions are provided by well-draining clay soil with a \u003cstrong\u003epH of 5.5-6.8\u003c\/strong\u003e. Avoiding excessive moisture is crucial, as the plant reacts poorly to water stagnation around the root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThermally, \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eTamarindus indica\u003c\/strong\u003e thrives best at temperatures between \u003cstrong\u003e20-35°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. It tolerates short-term drops to \u003cstrong\u003e10-15°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, and mature specimens can survive frosts down to \u003cstrong\u003e-3°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the temperate climate of Europe, container cultivation with the possibility of moving indoors during winter is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eUses and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe fruit pulp is a valued ingredient in Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean cuisines. Its distinctive sweet and sour flavor is used in:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSauces and seasonings (including the famous Worcestershire sauce)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefreshing beverages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesserts and sweets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eBeyond culinary uses, the tamarind tree offers several other applications. Its wood, resistant to pests and highly durable, is used in furniture and decorative elements. In container cultivation, it can serve as an attractive houseplant or a bonsai collection specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe plant requires a bright location, preferably south or southwest-facing, but direct intense sunlight should be avoided. Watering should be regular during the growing season, while in winter it should be reduced, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Its natural drought resistance makes tamarind a relatively easy species to grow for experienced exotic plant enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":52461549224264,"sku":"2051","price":5.4,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52461549257032,"sku":"2052","price":10.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":52461549289800,"sku":"2053","price":31.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":52461549322568,"sku":"2054","price":55.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"500","offer_id":52461549355336,"sku":"2055","price":255.4,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/1153.jpg?v=1770321269","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-tamaryndowca-indyjskiego-tamarindus-indica","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
