Oookaaayyyyy.....lived in a Tamarind tree...expand please! What...nobody going to comment on that nice Silky stuck in the tree above me!? Recipe: Tamarind syrup, juice and candied fruit: Take a bunch of ripe tamarinds and shell them. Fill some old peanut butter jars (or some such) with half honey and half blackstrap molasses (leave some room!) mix it up. Stuff as many shelled tamarinds as you can into the mix Put the lid on and leave it for about three months...or more. When done...shloop out the fruit and eat 'em! Not too many at one time, they make you fart! Use the syrup for coughs and colds, mix with hot water ( and appropriate alcoholic beverage if you like...rum would be best!) for a hot toddy Mix with ice water or other fruit juice for a nice summer drink. Use it to sweeten all kinds of 'tings mon!

 had a treehouse in the tamarind tree when i lived in key west--also had one in a sapodilla tree on another lot. Hey, real estate is tight there, and i was very poor, coming off 6 months rehabbing. my tamarind recipe was to puree the pulp with lime and honey and molasses as you suggest and other goodies and sell fruit-ade to the tourists at sunset on mallory pier, along with cookies made from coconut and other local tree food and tropical herbs. Healthy as all getout, and made a good buck at it.  It was your basic hunter-gatherer existence; of course expenses are low when you live in a tree and have no kids...

|  Re: Vines up trees? Yes or no poll? greet025:How cool I aspire to living in a tree when I retire! I reckon growing passionfruit up tress is GOOD they make handy trelises!But it would be a pain cutting them off if you had to do it for a living.What r those big green and white leaved vines called I like them.I have been pulling out heaps of vines from the garden this week it strangles everything it's got 3 leaves grouped together.  I also want to know how where you can learn tree climbing in townsville? So getting back to growing vines on trees I feel it depends on the vine |

| Re: Vines up trees? Yes or no poll? Climbers and trees are two plants that just don't mix. When I was working as a utility arborist, it was the one way to make me double my quotation (after all, your removing 2 plants). The only curious benefit I have experienced of a climber in a tree was seeing a conifer with bright crimson flowers. This was in fact a Cupressus macrocarpa with a Bouganvillea growing throughout the crown. The following attached article seems to follow my sentiments and offer some evidence why climbers should be avoided. |

| Re: Vines up trees? Yes or no poll? Ha, ha Ekka don't mix his words! Puking smiley blob...funny. The cuban royal palm looks a bit tatty, but then almost all the palms on the Island are suffering from potassium deficiency. This is a case for the 'it depends on the situation', that property is a small hotel called Royal Palms, I think the bougainvillea turns a featureless grey 'telephone pole' into something spectacular. At worst some day the vine might fall off, but other than that its not harming anything, and providing a visual feast in the meantime. Remember most of our visitors come from the US east coast, palms and flowering vines are just what they like to see. There is a poinciana with Pothos (Scindapsis) vine in it round the corner, it is only about 8' up the tree, barely to the break of the trunk, attractive, no problems as yet, leave it. A previous post of mine told of the tamarind tree with cactus and elephant's ear vines...it ALL came out, probably over a ton of weight.... IT DEPENDS...
