Smith’s Tamarind Live Plant (Diploglottis smithii)

The tree species Diploglottis smithii belongs to the Sapindaceae family. Australia is their native country. They contain capsule-shaped fruit and compound, wide leaves. Other names for them include Smith’s Tamarind. In eastern Australia and New Guinea, they naturally grow on the edges of adjacent wet forests and in rainforests. There are certain species that go by the names native tamarind or small-leaved tamarind, but they are not related to the real tamarind in any way. It is a suitable choice for use as a screening tree because it typically grows 10 to 15 metres tall and has a small canopy. Fruits are edible fresh or cooked into jams and jellies. The taste of the red or orange ail is juicy, sweet, and acidic.
