Used extensively in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine, and is an important ingredient in Worcestershire sauce. The juice is used to pickle fish in India.         The Tamarind tree is a beautiful, fine textured tree and it makes an excellent shade tree in large landscapes. It has a short, stocky trunk, drooping branches and a domed umbrella shaped crown about as wide as the tree's height. It often is planted in public parks and as an avenue tree in tropical cities. Tamarind is a slow growing tree that, once established, needs no attention at all.
	The 3 to 8 inch long, brown pods are borne in abundance along the new branches. As the pods mature, they fill out somewhat and the juicy, acidulous pulp turns brown or reddish-brown. When fully ripe, the shells are brittle and easily broken. The pulp dehydrates to a sticky paste enclosed by a few coarse stands of fiber. The pods may contain up to12 large, flat, glossy brown, obovate seeds embedded in the brown, edible pulp. The pulp has a pleasing sweet/sour flavor and is high in both acid and sugar. It is also rich in vitamin B and high in calcium. There are wide differences in fruit size and flavor in seedling trees. Indian types have longer pods with 6 - 12 seeds, while the West Indian types have shorter pods containing only 3 - 6 seeds.
	Tamarinds are extensively cultivated in tropical areas of the world. The Tamarind is well adapted to semiarid tropical conditions, although it does well in many humid tropical areas of the world with seasonally high rainfall. Young trees are very susceptible to frost, but mature trees will withstand brief periods of 28° F without serious injury. Dry weather is important during the period of fruit development. It is moderately salt tolerant and can be grown in coastal locations. It makes an excellent bonsai subject.
Tamarind is a large tropical tree with a short massive trunk, ferny pinnate leaves, small yellow flowers and fat reddish brown pods. Tamarinds are slow-growing, long-lived, evergreen trees that under optimum conditions, in its native habitat can grow 80 feet high with a spread of 20 to 35 ft. This tree can get tall but is usually less than 30 feet. In cultivation, it seldom reaches more than 15 to 25 ft.        Tamarinds bright green, lacy looking  foliage is dense and feathery. Tamarinds make a wonderful shade tree with their open branches. Tamarinds pinnate leaflets close up at night. The inconspicuous, inch-wide, five-petalled flowers are yellow with orange or red streaks. The flower buds are pink.   More information about Tamarindus indica (tamarind) Google: images, information Bishop Museum: specimens, information Smithsonian: specimens, information NTBG: specimens UH Scholarspace: publications Wikipedia: information Dave's Garden: information Flickr: images HWRA: information

If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
