NO !!! You think I'm kidding... Wait till I take pics... These damn things pop up in my citrus pots all the time...

I grew both of them when I was a kid. They are tropical plants.
The one on the right is tamarind. The one on the left is called "kamatsile". in local language.

Thanks Benny. Did you eat the fruits off of tamarind? How was it?
I will look up kamatsile. What is it...fruit tree? How big do they get? Thanks

I looked up Kamatsile in Dave's Garden & it's not found. The Tamarind is there. I'll try for a better pic & maybe post it on that Plant ID site Gina posted. Thanks

'Kamatsili 'is not in the English language. It is a tagalog word. Joe,Help.
Tamarind and kamatsili can grow up to 20 feet if grown on the grown. They grow everywhere because kids loved them and toss the seeds all over the place.

Tamarind can be very sweet or very sour. You can buy them in any Mexican produce fresh. In fact if you buy them you can grow the seeds.
When I was a kid I build a garden of tomatoes under the tamarind tree. Surprisingly I harvest the tomatoes even there were tamarind roots all over the place. Our tamarind tree was very sweet so other kids stole the fruit.

Patty, That is not a cassia that I grow. It has more leaflets than either of my cassias. Maybe it is a Tamarind. The description seems to fit.

Hopefully, this is a better pic. Someone at UBC said it might be Bauhinia, but my leaves are pointier than it. Thorns are marked in red.

Laaz, does your weed look like this? This is a nasty weed in my garden & just realized that it looks similar to my Tamarind. You still gonna post a pic of it?

Patty, Go to this messageboard and post your pictures.

Thanks Ned, pic is posted there.
Laaz, where are the pics of that weed? Does the pic of my weed (last pic) look like it?

Hi Patty. Yes it does. They get 6 ft tall down here. I have also seen the tree you are talking about. It has hundreds of pods & purple flower... Still looks like a big weed... But then again I think Crape Myrtle trees are big weeds...

The 'weed' I posted does not get tall. It is ground cover...gotta pull them out by hand. Nasty stuff.

doesn't Tamarind fruit pods of beans?
