Add a legendary and highly resilient classic of the tropical world to your botanical collection with our premium pack of Java Tamarind Seeds 100 pcs (Tamarindus indica). Widely known across the globe as the "Indian Date" or "Asam Jawa," this magnificent evergreen tree is deeply cherished for its elegant feathery foliage, its hardy nature, and the highly prized, sweet-and-sour fruit pods used in premium culinary arts and wellness traditions.

Native to tropical Africa but deeply naturalized across the fertile volcanic soils of Java and India, Tamarindus indica develops into a stunning, long-lived shade tree with a beautifully rugged, dark gray fissured bark. It features delicate, bright green pinnate leaves that uniquely fold up at night, creating a soft, weeping canopy texture. In spring, it features lovely clusters of pale yellow flowers with red veins. Due to its naturally slow trunk growth, incredible flexibility, and small leaf reduction, these high-germination seeds are a top favorite for both large-scale outdoor landscape designs and high-end indoor Bonsai training.

🌼 Cultivation & Planting Information

  • Common Name: Java Tamarind / Indian Date / Asam Jawa

  • Botanical Name: Tamarindus indica

  • Product Type: Exotic Fruit Tree Seeds / Ornamental Bonsai Material

  • Quantity: 100 Seeds per pack

  • Sun Requirements: Full Sun to very bright, intense direct light (Essential for robust trunk development and fruit production)

  • Soil / Medium: Exceptionally adaptable! Thrives in well-draining sandy loam, clay loam, or poor soils. Highly tolerant of drought and coastal salt sprays once established, but dislikes waterlogged roots.

  • Watering: Moderate during germination and seedling stages; low to moderate once established. Highly drought-resistant due to its deep taproot system.

  • Growth Rate: Slow to moderate; grows into an ultra-durable, wind-resistant tree that can live for centuries.

  • Hardiness & Climate: Thrives perfectly in warm, sub-tropical and tropical climates (USDA Zones 10-11). Can be grown indoors anywhere as a container or bonsai specimen if given adequate winter warmth.

💡 Pro Germination Tip: Because Tamarind seeds have an incredibly tough shell, scarification is key. Nick the seed coat slightly or soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours prior to planting to soften them. Sow about 1/2 inch deep in a warm, moist, sandy seed-starting mix. Maintain a steady temperature around 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C), and expect to see strong, healthy sprouts emerging within 7 to 14 days!
