Darklight Posted March 1, 2015 A mate is heading up to remote NT, his family lost a lot of stuff in the recent cyclone, including their gardens Not sure how big a priority their garden rebuild will be overall, but my mate wants to take up some fast growing basic stock, including a couple of favourites. A few NSW locals helping pack together something which will make it past whatever regional quarantine checks are encountered Have specifically been asked for tamarind ( Tamarindus indica ). I heard yesterday that there are Tamarind trees in Darwin already, but my mate won't be stopping there long enough to collect, check, package seed even if it's in season. He's a very basic home veg gardener in Vic and has family concerns uppermost on what will be a long trip with multiple priorities If anyone has any viable, clean Tamarind seed to donate/ trade/ sell, maybe 50 or so, please PM me. It'll be sent here to NSW first so I can ensure labelling and storage is 100% going to not be a hassle for him to travel with and that seed will be viable at the end of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MountainGoat Posted March 1, 2015 Out of season for seed on trees, seedlings popping up now. I collected seed a few months ago, planted most but should still have a few viable (10 maybe), pm me with your address and i'll send 'em down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darklight Posted March 1, 2015 Rockin'- thank you! PMd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MountainGoat Posted March 1, 2015 bro, sorry. I just checked the shed, and ants have been into the seed and they don't look viable. I planted about 6 weeks ago, and gave the extra seedlings away yesterday... I'll have a look locally for you and get back to you. But if there's anyone else out there with seed....

Hey it happens, don't worry about it, I appreciate the trouble you have already gone to. Would love it if you find more fresh seed tho Anyone else? I seem to have just missed the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flora Posted August 24, 2015 i used to get viable seed out of packets of tamarind sweets from asian stores, basically balls of tamarind flesh dipped in salt (not very helpful to you Darklight i realise) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted August 24, 2015 ^ yeah same, as well as in packets of pulp from the same stores, which seemed to be slightly more viable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
