Great for Experimenting Gardeners

If you enjoy trying out unusual fruit trees, this is a fun choice. It does take some patience, but the reward is delicious fruit with a flavor you can�t find at the supermarket.

Healthy and Productive

These seeds came well-packed and sprouted quickly. The trees are thriving in pots for now, and I�m already seeing signs of future fruiting. Excited to have such an unusual plant at home.

A Taste of the Tropics

Growing these seeds brought a tropical vibe to my backyard. The trees are hardy, and once the fruit ripened, I was impressed by how refreshing and juicy they were. Reminded me of visiting markets overseas.

Nostalgic Taste

I grew up around Madras Thorn trees abroad, and planting these seeds brought back fond memories. The trees flourished in my greenhouse, and the fruit tastes just as I remembered�sweet, tart, and refreshing.

Excellent for Backyard Growers

These seeds sprouted faster than I expected, and the plants adapted well to my Florida soil. The fruit has a unique flavor, kind of like tamarind but milder. A wonderful addition to my little food forest.
