Tu BiShvat started last night! It’s a Jewish holiday celebrating trees! Here are some of my trees!

— Vachellia tortilis (the iconic savannah acacia which was ironically declassified as a proper Acacia - 28 months since sowing)

— Jacaranda mimosifolia (35 months)

— Tamarind seedling (67 days)

— Pommy! (38 months) I decided to use Tu BiShvat as an excuse to put it back in the garden to wake up from dormancy.

Tamarind seedling update! Also a display of them opening their leaves during the day and “sleeping” at night! (Which is always adorable in all plants that do it)

My biggest one is putting out its fifth leaf it looks like! I also just noticed they have reddish hairs as well that give them a fuzzy look.

Tamarindus / Тамаринд

[botaniqueer]

Science time!

The tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a leguminous tree known for the large brown pods that are seen sold in supermarkets. The pulp on the inside is edible and very sweet and used as an ingredient in other dishes or eaten alone.

I decided to see if I could not only germinate them, but also see if I can get different results from doing different pretreatments on the seeds.

So after eating some (very important part of the scientific process) and collecting a total of 25 seeds, I divided them into four groups created by the manipulation of two variables: a boiling water treatment and an overnight Hydrogen Peroxide soak.

For the hydrogen peroxide treatment the seeds were left in a 3% peroxide solution overnight, as opposed to just tap water for the others. The hot water treatment had the seeds be put into boiling water, which was allowed to cool before the seeds were put into cups for soaking.

Group 1) Control, overnight soak in tap water 2) Boiling pretreatment + soak in tap water 3) Soak in hydrogen peroxide 4) Boiling pretreatment + soak in peroxide

After the soaking period they were placed 4-inch nursery planters in groups of 6 (except for control which has one extra because I didn’t want to waste a seed and wouldn’t work in a formal experiment whoops) in soil I made by mixing 0.5 general purpose soil with 0.25 perlite and 0.25 cactus mix, which I then watered and put plastic wrap over to help hold in moisture. The pots are being kept at room temperature indoors.

A large part of this is that I wanted to see if peroxide in particular affects seed germination speed, since most of what I got from Google search results were dubious articles from the sort of all-natural/organic blogs that would probably also purport the existence of superfoods, panaceas, and other unfounded things. I’m not fully sure how effective this will be because tamarind seeds are considerably thicker than a lot of other seeds but I figured it would be fun to try, and also it’ll also be fun causing a proliferation of tamarinds in Seattle. :P
