Lakpura Tamarind Fruit Plant

The Lakpura Tamarind Fruit Plant is a resilient, long-living tropical tree known for its distinctive vase-shaped crown and dense evergreen foliage. Reaching heights of up to 25 meters (80 feet), it thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil types—clay, loam, sandy, or acidic—while boasting excellent resistance to drought and wind-borne coastal salts.

Its bright green, pinnately compound leaves create a graceful, billowing appearance, with leaflets that close at night. The tree produces small, attractive red and yellow flowers with pink buds, typically arranged in racemes. Aside from its fruit, the tamarind tree is also valued for its dark red heartwood, making it both a functional and ornamental addition to any garden or landscape.
