Abstract

Tamarind is a perennial fruit crop revealing its potential as a viable resource vegetable of excellent nutrition. The late flowering types of tamarind are best suitable for cultivation in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11, which include the warmer portions of California, Arizona, Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. Germplasm introduction and evaluation trials will help to enhance cold hardiness, create variability in available genetic resource, and enable increased production of tamarind for various purposes.
