The Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a showstopper of a tropical bonsai — gorgeous, bold compound foliage, attractively rough bark that deepens in character with age, and beautiful orchid-like blooms on mature trees. With time and maturity it can even produce true tamarind fruit and its unique seed pods.
One-of-a-kind tree: the bonsai pictured is the exact tree you will receive, professionally styled by the Bonsai Bar team and planted in a 6" matte black pot by JAS.

Shipping & Arrival
To ensure safe delivery, we prefer to ship trees between Monday and Wednesday at the latest, so your bonsai is never caught in an accidental weekend delay. Some leaf drop during shipment is completely normal. If leaves drop in transit, place your tree in a very sunny spot and water only once the topsoil has dried out — take care not to overwater while the tree has few or no leaves.
