This is a Large fruited Tamarind. Seeds are enclosed by a juicy red or orange aril ideal for juice or jams. The tree bears well and is very easy to grow. When I ate some of the fruit, the immediate reaction was it had a similar taste as sour not properly ripe plums. Openly branched, fairly dense rounded canopy.Insignificant flowers.
The seeds are held in these 3 part capsules that usually split on the tree to allow the fruit to fall but this one is whole having been blown down in a storm. This fruit is ripe. As it was the yellow casing was only just holding together.
