My tree has some fruit on it that will ripen in a couple of weeks. Feel free to send a pm if no one else has them available.

Thanks! I'll make sure to let you know! Is it tamarind or grumichama?

I bought my tamarind seeds at the local grocery store as fruit in the pods. They sprouted quite easily. Mine bloomed and set fruit for the first time this year in my greenhouse.

As a matter of fact, I have started several of my trees from grocery store fruit. Most of ours comes from Mexico and South or Central America and is not irradiated.

Yes, my wife bought some tamarind paste from the indian store and found a few seeds in them.  I just planted them.  I don't know if they are irradiated
