ALEXANDER CASTLE
Alexander Castle was built in 1879: This
gives us a starting point. The tree could have
been planted around that time, or it might
have been there already.
Tamarind trees can live for centuries: As
we discussed earlier, tamarind trees can have
a lifespan of 200 years or more, with some
exceptional individuals reaching even
greater ages.
Rabindranath Tagore visited in 1926: This
tells us that the tree was already of a
significant size and age by that time.
