Tamarind Tree
I've just managed to germinate 3 Tamarind trees. They all have their first
"true" leaves opening. Has anyone else got any experience with these things? Destined to be houseplants I think due to lack of conservatory. Any idea what to expect?

Tamarind Tree
I grew one a few years ago. They get pretty big. The nice thing about them
is that the leaves close at night. Fogey "Les &/or Claire" wrote in message ... I've just managed to germinate 3 Tamarind trees. They all have their first "true" leaves opening.

Fogey Just peeked at them in the bathroom ( their first night indoors as houseplants ) and your right! They do remind me of the sensitive plant, perhaps a relation using the same mechanism from a different stimulus? Les "Les &/or Claire" wrote in message ...
