Tamarindus Indica Plant - نبتة التمر الهندي

Common name: Tamarind Tree
Other names: Indian Tamarind, Tamarindus
Botanical name: Tamarindus indica


Tamarindus indica is a long-lived tropical fruit tree known for its dense canopy, feathery leaves, and brown pod-shaped fruits filled with tangy, sweet-sour pulp. It forms a wide umbrella-shaped crown, making it excellent as a shade tree. The flowers are yellow and small, followed by fruit pods that mature into edible tamarind. Tamarind trees are hardy, drought-tolerant, and perfect for hot climates once established.

Tamarind grows well in full sun and in sandy, well-drained soil. Water it regularly during the first few months, then reduce watering once the tree is established, as it becomes very drought-tolerant. Light fertilizing a few times a year helps with growth and fruiting. Young plants may need protection on very cold winter nights, but mature trees adapt easily to Kuwait’s climate.
