- Observation One kilogram of pure tamarind seed produced 1,245-1,606 laboratory seedlings.
- Association Dello Mena, Kurmuk, and Metema seed had the highest germination, 100%, compared with Guba.
- Observation Seedling survival at age four ranged from 81 to 94% across provenances.
- Association Dello Mena seedlings had the highest shoot length, root collar diameter, taproot length, and leaf and root weights.
- Association Guba seedlings had the largest number of leaves.
- Association Kurmuk seedlings had the largest number of secondary roots and highest stem weights.
