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.
Tamarisk (Tamarix species), also known as salt cedar, is a tall tree with feathery green or blue-green foliage. In New Mexico, tamarisk is the arch-enemy invasive species, the equivalent of our buffelgrass. It is listed as a noxious weed there, as it is in Montana, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.
