Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose a clear, sunny location that is not in the shade of other trees and receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Trees establish roots better in sandy, well-drained soils rather than heavy, poorly drained soil. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 6-8 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in some sand or compost to improve drainage. Optionally, either form rows of soil beds or hills 4-6 inches high and at least 40 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage, ensure good airflow, and make harvesting or maintenance easier.

Planting:

Tamarind thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates, preferring temperatures between 75F-95Fand are highly drought-tolerant once established.

Starting Indoors: Tamarind Tree seeds do not require cold-stratification to germinate but may benefit from soaking. To germinate seeds, soak seeds 24 hours in hot tap water prior to sowing. Roll seeds in a damp paper towel and place in a resealable bag and place bags in 70F-90F area for 1-2 weeks. Plant indoors in small pots with moist potting soil 1 month before the last expected frost in spring, and place the pots in a warm, sunny location that is at least 65F. Keep the soil moist, allowing the top inch of soil to dry in between waterings.

Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves and are at least 6 inches in height, harden off seedlings then transplant outdoors in the spring, in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 65F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny, permanent location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the transplant holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing outdoors, plant in spring in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 70F. Soak seeds 24 hours in hot tap water prior to sowing. Roll seeds in a damp paper towel and place in a resealable bag and place bags in 70F-90F area for 1-2 weeks. To plant, make holes 1 inch deep and spaced 30 feet apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 1 seed per hole, then cover thinly with soil. Seedbeds can be covered with plastic film to promote germination. Water after planting.



Planting Depth: 1 inch
Within-Row Spacing: 30-40 feet
Between-Row Spacing: 40 feet


Care During the Season:

Tamarind is a resilient, long-lived tree that produces abundant, high-quality fruit for culinary and medicinal use year after year with care. While young trees benefit from regular deep watering, mature trees require minimal irrigation. Fertilization can optionally be done twice a year, in early spring and mid-summer, using a balanced fertilizer. Pruning is generally minimal but can be beneficial.

Harvesting:

Tamarind pods are ready for harvest when they turn brown and brittle, around late winter to early spring, 6-9 months after flowering,. The outer shell hardens and becomes dry, while the pulp inside transforms from sour and green to a sticky, brown, and sweet-sour consistency. If the pods are still green or soft, they are not fully ripe and should be left on the tree longer to ripen. To harvest, simply pluck the mature pods by hand or use pruning shears if they are hard to reach. After harvesting, tamarind pods can be dried in the sun for a few days to further harden the shell and concentrate the flavors. The pulp can be stored inside the shell for long-term use or extracted and preserved as a paste.

Worth every penny.
Size: 2'6" x 5', Color: Black
It has been my experience that this rug and this company is fabulous if you need or if you want something that’s rich well-made well thought of sheepskin rug you can’t go wrong with this company they take pride in their work I mean by this if you want a sheepskin rug buy from this company. This was the one that I bought and I cannot tell you how gorgeous it is. It saves money because it costs money when you buy cheap you buy twice you buy this. You can forget about it. That’s how good it is.. The weight is perfect. The color is rich and the price there is really no price for something. That is excellent because I’ve been looking around for rugs like this for different creations and decorative tableau and there’s a lot of junk out there..

Not as pictured, but ...
Buyers should note that the advertised photo shows a white rug with gray tips, but the rug I received has a lot of yellow in. Despite the difference, I've decided to keep it because it is a beautiful rug and very soft.

It would look very cool on a chair, the back of a couch next to the FP, or even on a bed.... authentically pleasing for sure.

Absolutely gorgeous! Quality is excellent. I purchased three prior to this from different companies, and returned them. Finally came across this company and truly love the texture and look. This pelt is real sheepskin, NOT felt backing like some. The real deal.

⭐ Incredibly Soft Faux Rabbit Blanket That Feels Truly Luxurious
This faux rabbit blanket truly feels luxurious. The softness is incredible — it has that plush, velvety texture that feels amazing against your skin. It’s thick enough to be warm and cozy without feeling heavy or stiff. I’ve used it on chilly evenings, and it keeps me perfectly comfortable while still looking elegant draped over the couch. The color is absolutely beautiful and rich, adding warmth and depth to the room. It looks high-end and much more expensive than it is. The overall quality really impressed me, from the stitching to the density of the fabric. I would absolutely recommend it.
