My Dwarf Moringa survived at 26 degrees without covering. (I do have mulch in my gardens) When it hit 20 degrees which never happens here in Houston, we covered the bottom with leaves around 6" up. Now looking down at the bottom of my tree shows green which means it will come out again for the spring. My tree has been in the ground around 7 years old. Hope this helps someone to give it a try.

Hi John. I have been a subscriber of your channel for several years. You provide thorough gardening information which I appreciate. I have a garden and am interested in planting Moringa; my reason for visiting your page. I realize this video was recorded in 2018, however, I am visiting this specific page in 2022 because I want to add Moringa to my garden the proper way. After viewing Learn Organic Gardening... I am compelled to make a correction in the spirit of love. Attention viewers. The proper pronunciation of the country in Central America, Nicaragua is pronounced NIC-ara-gua NOT NIGG-er-agua (offensive). 34:49/ 38.43. Thanks for listening. Keep watching. John is great.

I live in desert zone 10 - it did horribly in full sun here so I placed it in the shade of a much larger tree and it began to grow more

[@sloopofwar639]

I live in Mohave Valley, AZ. 10 also. For 3 years I'd tried to grow moringa with success. I did OK. But they died. Anyway. I'd purchased 2 rolls of green shade netting and I now have success with 82 trees as of today. Granted I did this in June but the trees are around 2-2.5 ft tall. With the timmered water drip system they get the water they need and the extreme direct heat is no longer and the harsh UV rays have been cut down considerably. Hope this helps.

[@staralioflundnv]

I grew up in Hawaii. This looks like marungay (locally pronounced mah-roon-guy) or kalamungay. A lot of Filipinos in Hawaii cook it with papaya in a soup. It has an AMAZING taste. It's always in high demand there. My mom's neighbors ask her for samples. If you move to Maui, it'll be great to see you grow it in a future episode.

Thanks to the both of you! So informative as I am getting ready to do intensive planting in my small 3'x15' full sun back yard. Does Moringa produce more leaves if I top it periodically? I would prefer to manage the growth if possible with the limited space and presume I will harvest a few times throughout the year. I would love to ideally have a dense 6-7' hedge but I haven't seen anyone doing that so far from my research. I love how we can be so creative with our gardening ideas and experiences, kinda like how the plants continue to evolve and thrive! Keep up the great video content on Moringa and other healthy gardening practices and ideas.

You can cut down the moringa tree 3 feet from the ground and it will produce more branches for more harvest

Hi John. I have watched all of your videos and have implemented most of the things I have learned from them. Unfortunately it seams you are not aware that the air potatoes are a highly invasive species. We are trying very hard to eradicate them from our wild areas. They are choking out many trees and out competing our native plants. The state is spending tons of money and many concerned persons are donating their time to pull them out. Please make others aware in Florida to not establish them in their yards. the spread at an alarming rate.

We source our chicken manure from our own happy hens. We ffeed them well, and they range around and eat lots of greens, plus kitchen scraps from all our neighbors.

Hey John, thank you for all the value that you provide in your videos. I have been watching them for years. Asking a question here about growing Moringa trees. I live in Pensacola which is capable of getting frost and below 40 for several durations between 2 to 3 months of the year. If I grow the trees as an annual and cut them back and cover them in place would they grow back in the spring? The ground never freezes here below 1-2 inches, if at all. Thank you, and keep on doing what you do. Your a role model for many of us! Ben S.

Hi John, and thank you for all of your quality videos :) I'm wondering if you think that the Moringa from Africa can be as healthy?

I started dwarf Moringa seeds in solo cups. They grew but it was extremely difficult to transplant them into larger pots. The stems are very delicate and weak. They will bend, break and don’t like to be tied. It’s better to tie sticks on each side and tie them but not to the plants stem..

Hello everybody. I live in Central FL and I have a few questions please: 1. Can you live just on Moringa? How many would be recommended to have for a family of 6? 2. What other types of fruit trees can I plant now that would be stable source of food?

[@gonnaposeto6873]

It's nutrient dense, but there are not enough calories. A good rule of thumb is one plant per family member. That can include pets or livestock.

Yo big fan up in jupiter an hour north of hollywood if still in florida come on up for a tour of me and my buddies gardens/farms!!!

[@asupremum1246]

Anyone know of other tropical/subtropical trees with highly edible leaves besides moringa ?

[@gabriellebohannah4259]

I live in cold climate in the winter. What seeds are best for this type of climate to start off with? There are no seeds in New Mexico state.

[@soniag4516]

Try mixed seeds and see which one does well. You'll have to take the plants inside if it falls below 40-50 degrees but they spring back to life when sun comes out and warms up.

Check the Spanish grocery stores in the dried herb section . Usually in clear cellophane bags. I have seen them in Albuquerque.

40:00 John suggests getting seeds from Jake Mace in Phoenix. FYI: This is no longer a source because Jake Mace has moved away.

There's an index of timestamps in the video description.

Very cool!

My dog LOVES broccoli.

[@carlalee6685]

Could you plant dwarf moringa outside as an annual in the Pacific NW. Our average summer temperature is high 70's to low 80's. We have a few warmer days but not many. Or would they have to be in a greenhouse. I know they like heat.

I’m trying to grow it in western Washington in a green house so far so good

[@montemurray2475]

How is it going? I’m in eastern Washington and just ordered some seeds to try. I will probably need to move indoors in winter.

[@natemurphy4367]

I didn’t have any luck with seeds I ordered some plants off Amazon and left two in my green house and brought one inside the ones in the green house with a heat lamp and heat cable dropped all leafs and the one in the house is dropping leafs but still has new growth but in need of more light

[@montemurray2475]

@@natemurphy4367 hopefully they will come back in the spring and be able to grow them as perennials. I’m going to plant the seed late spring early summer. Then insulate heavily in the fall and see if they come back in the spring.

Hi, hello I'm in England bat moving to Portugal, just wishing to grow Meringa can I get same seed's in till good new week.

[@marylindsay8064]

Is there an additive or fertilizer I can use to promote root and/or leaf production ?

[@SowViableGardens]

Feed them their own leaves and stems.

[@jamesLescobar]

Sorry John you're wrong on this one I've been grow Moringa for a little while over here in New York City and them stupid dust mites always attack them and aphids are also a problem but I tend to just Pickaway the yellowing leaves when it's grown big and clean them off as good as possible to salvage them but I still get a great Bountiful Harvest... unfortunately that's the problem with organic gardening and no pesticides

[@maxmax-mv1oe]

My moringa trees have thorns, I live in NJ. I don't see any other trees with thorns, does yours?

[@lorenzplato606]

Maybe the variety is not good for your climate, they dont all do well, you have to find the type that works for you.

[@SowViableGardens]

That’s wild , in South Florida I’ve never had 1 pest issue on my abundance of trees.

[@Mister.Doodler]

I got 6 big fat stems of moringa. How soon I should plant? Can I store the same for few days and then plant later as I have shortage of space in my building.

[@pagevpetty]

I thought berries were bad for dogs...? But Max loves broccoli stems and coliflour and all kinds of fruit and veggies.

[@robynlockwood2055]

Dear John, No, this is not a "dear Jon" message! I would like to make a suggestion. Consider looking into a more protected area for your farm. Even a higher altitude area east of the Rockies would be good, northern New Mexico Taos area, San Luise Valley of southern Colorado, anywhere further inland (not the east coast). There's a reason why there are tsunamis, earth quake and hurricane damage in the areas your looking. The above ideas are sunny and unpoluted and almost as tropical as you like. I'm at 8,200 ft. In northern Colorado - I'm making it work but it ain't easy... Happy hunting!!!👵
