Infinity Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Welcome. I greet you in the Love and Light. I am offering seeds of the rare and endangered Small Leaved Tamarind aka Diploglottis campbellii. 10 seeds for $15 including free postage anywhere in Australia. Growing to a height of between 7m - 10m in the garden, the Small-leaved Tamarind forms a handsome tree with a dense crown which provides excellent shade and shelter. Flowers are small, cream-brown, borne on multi-branched panicles and occur from November to January. Fruits are large (to 6cm across) and quite spectacular, 3-lobed capsules that split open when ripe to reveal the seeds covered by the bright red or sometimes yellow, fleshy aril. Fruiting occurs between February to March and individual trees are capable of producing many kilos of fruit. The flesh around the seed is the edible part which is refreshingly acid to taste. Its distinctive, tarty flavour lends itself to both sweet and savoury applications. It can be made into jams, jellies, drinks and sauces. This tree is rare and endangered in its native habitat with only 30 known trees remaining in the wild. The seeds will be sent to you in padded bag. If you are interested, please send me a message and I'll send you a payment link. Once payment is received the seeds will be sent the very next day. Approx 100 seeds available until all sold. Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Have a great long weekend! Love & Light ∞ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northerner Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Could it deal with wet feet/wet tropics okay you reckon Infinity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Absolutely! She's a rainforest plant so she'd do exceptionally well in those conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMooseZeus Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Would liken the taste to a sweet fruity chilli ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Geeze mate you're game. My face screwed up like a cats butthole the first time I had a taste. I'd certainly say there is a hint of capsicum/chilli in its flavor profile. The jam made from it is exceptional. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMooseZeus Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Could have been very over ripe? When i first ate it i didnt even know if it was edible either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Daze Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I gave a heap to an indian friend and she said she used them in a dish that required tamarind. She said it was better than the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenjonny Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 A lot of sources say that a drink can be made from this. I'm currently growing diploglotis australis. Does anyone have a recipe/method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
