We have Tamarindo, but it looks nothing like that.

This fruit is commonly known as Tamarind or tamarindo. Not grown in the DR but you can find pre-packaged versions (peeled and sugared) in most big markets sirena or Jumbo. Most restaurants make/serve the juice version or even frio frio!

1- growing for business, export, is what I had in mind with both plants.

2. Tongkat Ali is not mainly an 'stimulant', like beating a dead horse.

3. It is not a simple vasodilatory, that what Viagra is, which does not increas LIBIDO as the 'remedy' I mentioned, which also cures "1000 ilness". Been there done that.

But it is so expensive that I propose DR grow it for business, as they do with other plants.

Sure they do, La Pela is a big seller even with young Dominicans.

Read post 17, La pela is nothing but Taladafil, same as Cialis the competition for Viagra, none of them increase your libido, but just make blood flow all the way to your penis, artificially, not naturally

tetosterone is the hormone that will do it naturally, there are natural ways to make your balls produce tetosterone, it makes the difference between a boy or an "old" man and a healthy man, agressive.

There is a trend these days of "discovering" unusual tropical fruit and then claiming that they have magical properties to make one lose weight, to prolong life, and of course, to be a sexual athlete even when one reaches 80. The A?ai from Brazil is one such fruit, and near magical -roperties have been given to pomegranates as well recently. I fully expect to see mangosteens, starfruit, durian and all manner of other rare fruits be marketed in this way.

That said, I have never seen the fruit in your picture, even in the Lancetilla Botanical Gardens in Tela, Honduras, which is one of the first and largest such gardens, so I cannot say anything at all about it. If I did see it on sale, I imagine I would try it.

There is a tamarind (tamarindo) already posted I think tamarinds are native to India, and they do not look as though they are related to the green fruit in your picture which sort of resembles a zapallo, a small Argentine squash, which is a darker green in color.
