Tamarindus indica (literati)

[emerson]

I would like to share my Fruiting Tamarind. This was the 2nd time I have seen this material bearing fruit but still the fruit are very huge(normal size).

Is there a chance or way that this fruit will become small?

No..
You need to remove the fruit...it takes the energy away from the tree.

Although the size of leaves can be reduced, you cannot reduce the size of either fruit nor flowers.

Okay...

Well it's ripe enough, time to harvest the fruit. It's been there since Oct.2009 and it's also time to prune and defoliate. Next Month its will start to backbud and maybe by March it will start to give flowers.

Tnx much...
