Heh.

I'm
sure you could overwinter indoors as long as it got lots of light but
Tamarinds grow into huge trees. I expect it would get too big very
quickly. I think some varieties get up to 80'.

Yes, I read up on them earlier and found some pictures to be absolutely sure
they were tamarinds - they are.

Its great fun to grow
them though even if they may have to be abandoned in the end.

But I was really upset when my mango died!

I shall
have a go myself next time I get hold of some seeds. Its pretty
foliage too I seem to remember.

It is - like a fat fern. The seed pods come out of the soil on a stalk and
then split, exposing fluffy foliage. They're like aliens.
