2022 - Tamarindus Indica from seed.

How did you germinate it, I have some few seeds that I'm planning to germinate?

Soaked them in warm water overnight and then planted in inorganic substrate on a bright window ledge in a warm room. I put clear bags over the pots for increased humidity until the seeds sprouted and then removed the bags.

They will move slowly outside when the weather is warm enough.
Nice germination rate!
Actually 9/10 initially germinated but seedling number 9 was weak and never really got going. Nice quality seeds.
 
I have chosen my “one” and will only be following that one’s progress from here on in, all will be revealed soon.

The “spares” will still be grown but will go off to new homes 😄
 
On the fence a bit about keeping this one. They look nice when large but not entirely sure I’ll have the space when we eventually get there 🤪

They grow fast. There is a strong tendency in this species to get twisted roots. Make sure you have the roots sorted out when young. I grew 2 of them from seeds in 2021. One of them have wicked roots that I can't fix. I will have to air layer the tree if I want to keep it.
 
I think I’ll let this one go to a friend who has been asking about it.
