” Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.” – Shira Tamir
During one of my morning walks last month, I saw two men under a tree trying to do something with a Bamboo stick. It took me some time to understand that they were shaking the tree so that they could collect Tamarind. In the third picture you can see tamarind strewed all over.
I have known the Tamarind tree since I was a kid. This particular morning however was nostalgia. Amidst our work and fast lives, we forget how much trees give us. Tamarind goes in our food here in India and makes everything so delicious. I am grateful for the sight that morning and hope we see the trees for all that they are.

Tamarind! Yum! The curries that are made with Tamarind in them and the fruit itself!
I love them too, Parul. 😀
These trees tend to bring back childhood memories, no? … of picking them or plucking them out and eating it raw. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this sight.
And thank you for hosting TTL. 🙂
My post is about a couple of Queensland Bottle Trees I found in San Diego, CA.

To be honest, I always thought Tamrarind was harvested by hand! This is a very efficient way imo!! And such a good harvest!! 🙂 Here is my tree https://yenforblue.blogspot.com/2024/05/cigar-tree-thursdaytreelove.html

I have always seen them fall and collected. So this was cute cos the men were just shaking up the trees. It was indeed a good harvest. Thanks for joining Archana. See you around in today’s edition.
