      Two problems with modern food is 1) the quality of it and 2) the deliver of it when you need it.

    Hey Green Dean I would like to make a request if you don't mind. By the way, thanks for the upload. Would you do a complete video on the Honey Locus and it's uses including the Bean Pod and the Pulp inside the Bean Pod. Also bring up it's cousin the Black Locus and the difference between the two? Thanks again for the work you've done for all wanting to know about the Edibility of the Plants around.

    Too bad those pods were rotten. Thanks for the video. I've tried to pick from those very same trees on multiple occasions and I'm always too early so I can't find any ripe ones. They're high up and hard to reach too. I've had similar problems with the one I was growing even though I checked it more frequently. They were always either unripe or had gone rotten. The best bet for getting good pods is at the oriental food store. I gave up on my tree, after nurturing it into a giant over nearly two decades, and replaced it with a mango. Maybe one day I'll get some good pods from that park, or maybe I'll just try the leaves. One addition to your always wealth of information is that the shells can be used to make tea, after you eat the fruit out of them.

    I planted my tamarind tree from seed 10 years ago and it's only 8 ft tall and about as wide but now I know why because even though it's mostly full sun there are trees around and a hedge a few feet away from it. It's in plain sand in Florida here and so far no fruit.

    Bit cold here for them outside.
    I'll have to grow one as a patio plant. It will go well with my Calamansi limes.

    We had Tamarind in our home. We children ate raw tamarind fruit and ripe pulp use for cooking. Cow eat the boiled seed. Leaves are antiinflammatory use to make chutney with fresh cocunut.

    How similar is the Mimosa to Tamarind tree? Maybe I’ve been confusing them. Whichever is growing near to me in southeast Texas and south Louisiana I’ve thought was simply a nuisance to pull up. I’ll change if it in fact a plant useful for something other than attracting stinging caterpillars.

    • @cbizzell13
      @cbizzell13 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I inquired this as well Mimosa is abundant around my area. The main difference I see is the flower. Mimosa's have the pink puffy flower while these flowers look like a red pea flower, that I could see online.
      I'd also like to know the growing area for these trees. I'm in North Georgia, will they grow up this way?

  • @nidalshehahadeh7485

    Planting and forgetting about seeds from what I eat is a habit , Tamarind
    seedling that have germinated out of nowhere maybe I planted and forgotten about which is about 5 years old is about 20 feet high already producing pods , I am in Port Charlotte Florida , I hope there's nothing else that looks like it .
    Watching Your TH-cam reminded me that I have a piece of Tamarind somewhere in my refrigerator , I cannot remember how old it is , at this point it is almost as dry as hard candy with losing some of its Taste and flavor .
    Etymology.
    From Late Middle English thamarynde, from Old French tamarinde, from Medieval Latin tamarindus, from Arabic تَمْر هِنْدِيّ‎ (tamr hindiyy, literally “Indian date”).
