Tamarindus indica, the Tamarind tree, is related to carob. It grows wild in its native tropical Africa, but is grown extensively in India, Costa Rica and Thailand for its fruit pods, flowers, leaves and wood. The tamarind tree grows slowly, gets very tall and lives a very long time.
Date palm trees grow as tall as 100 feet. Date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera) have a history extending back 6,000 years when they were used for roof thatching and a food source in ancient Egypt and Sumeria.
