Trying to create a sauce with the perfect blend of sweet and sour? Tamarind is your fruit. This Eastern Africa native evergreen has taken the culinary world by storm in Africa, Asia, India, and Latin America from curries to chutneys to sauces. In fact, the name Tamarind, or Indian date, illustrates its worldwide appeal: Tamar is Arabic for date and Ind means of India. Not only does it provide scrumptious fruit, it also makes a perfect shade tree and showpiece with its impressive height potential of up to 60 feet. In spring and summer, it blooms creamy yellow flowers with red veins that give way to the long bean-like pods that house the pulpy fruit.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
