In cultivation it builds a dense, dark green canopy on a straight trunk and carries large three lobed capsules that split to reveal a scarlet, sharply acidic aril used in cordials and sauces. People choose it over the commoner native tamarind for the heavier fruit crop and for the conservation value of growing a critically endangered species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Small-Leaved Tamarind\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConservation Value\u003c\/strong\u003e: Only a very small number of mature trees remain in the wild, so every garden planting adds to the surviving gene pool.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdible Fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e: The crimson aril is intensely tart and high in vitamin C, ripening through summer into autumn on established trees.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Large glossy compound leaves form an evenly domed head that casts genuine shade by the time the tree reaches 6m.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Draw\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fruiting brings in figbirds, fruit doves and flying foxes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naturally single trunked and self shaping, so it needs very little formative pruning.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature Shade Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted alone on a lawn it becomes a clean, symmetrical dome with a usable canopy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRainforest Restoration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Works as a canopy species in subtropical revegetation on the northern rivers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushfood Planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grown in small groups for a reliable fruit crop, since cross pollination improves set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheltered Garden Courtyard\u003c\/strong\u003e: The dense head and non aggressive roots suit walled spaces in warm districts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 5m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 to 10m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring through to early autumn in subtropical zones, avoiding cold wet winter soil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, friable, moisture retentive loam with free drainage and a mulched, weed free surface\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply twice a week through the first two summers and never let the root ball dry right out.
