Small Leaf Tamarind ^10/10

Comments: - The lime green foliage of this tree is a brilliant contrast to the other plants in my tiny courtyard.  The tree has doubled in size in one season.  It is compact in width, and growing nice and straight and tall without a stake.  I have Brahmi growing underneath it in a pot, and the two work well as they need more water than the other drought tolerant plants I have.
