Tamarind is highly valued for its tasty and nutritious fruits, the pulp of which resembles thick and sweet jam.
Although it lives up to 150 years, the tree begins to bear fruit only at 4-8 years of age, and is propagated mainly artificially by rootstocks from seeds or vegetatively.
When to prune tamarind
As soon as the height of the plant reaches 0.5 m, it needs to be trimmed at the top (beginning of March).
After a month, you can trim the branches, forming the desired crown.
A year from now, remove all the leaves from the tamarind: when they grow again, they will become smaller, “proportional” to the height of the tree. Propagation by seeds.
Why do tamarind leaves turn yellow
As a rule, with excessive watering, Indian Tamarind leaves turn yellow and some leaves may even fall off.
In addition, overwatering can cause the overall structure of the plant to dry out and also promote the development of root rot.
Watering
Water tamarind with warm, settled water 3 times a week.
In the spring and summer, daily spraying will come in handy.
Water the tree so that the substrate in the pot is always slightly moist.
Suitable water should be soft and warm.
