I'm looking to buy fresh, sweet tamarind pods on Stt?

Does anyone know where I can buy them?
Or does anyone have have a sweet tamarind tree that doesn't have any use for the pods or have too many pods for their private use?

(BTW. I don't know if this time of the year is when the pods form. So, if anyone knows more about when the pods form, it would be much appreciated.)

Thanks in advance!

Check Plaza Extra as I've seen them bagged up there in the produce section. I honestly can't remember the time of year they ripen but I'm thinking back now to my work in the old Danish Cemetery which was usually in August and the two trees in there were packed with ripe buds in that month.

Old Tart, thanks.
Where exactly is the Old Danish Cemetery?
Do you think they will mind if I check out the trees? 😉

It's directly opposite the old Knud Hansen hospital in Hospital Ground, just up the street from the Lionel Roberts Stadium, bottom of Mafolie Hill. The Moravian cemetery is first on the left and the Danish cemetery is next to it. It might look as if the iron gates are locked but they're not. The tamarind tree is right inside the entrance on the left. Nobody will bother you!
