Tamarindus indica (Tamarind):

Anyone know anything about the growth habits of this plant?
How long does it take to produce fruit?  I know this gets to be
quite a big tree 20..24M and is evergreen but would like to know
how messy it is so I can figure where to plant it.  Does it shed
it leaves at all?  I don't think fallen fruit is going to be a
problem ;-)  That is if I can get to them before the damn
monkeys.

Luke gave me the idea of what to do with those empty 2L plastic 
soda bottles.  So maybe I can reduce the monkey problem without 
disturbing the neighbours.  In case there are any bunny huggers 
out there I would rather shoot the idiots that are feeding them 
and causing the problem in the first place.  However these 
idiots are for some strange reason a protected species. ;-)
