Moringa Tree from CUTTINGS - Turning a Branch into a Tree

[@stevenryan830]

The jelly inside Aloe Vera is a natural source of rooting hormone if you don't wanna bother looking for it at the store. Just slice it open and rub the jelly onto the stem where you have previously scrapped the nodes.

[@DavidLeeRothsAlterEgo]

Aloe vera gel also removes carcinoma and liver spots on your skin, not the clear part of the gel but the yellow stuff that comes out first. It has beneficial enzymes that clears the skin of these issues.

Hi, There is an old saying in Tamil language that "Murungaya vechavan verum kaiyya povan" ( The one plants moringa tree will go empty handed) and it actually means that, The one who plants the moringa tree in their house and then consumes the leaves cooked, Drumstick cooked, will never needs a walking stick. He / she can walk freely with no support in his/ her later ages. And it is. The power of moringa Tree.

[@tinawindham6958]

Oh I thought if u had moringa u would never be hungry. Either way it’s a great tree!

[@shreedevinair-pal9594]

I am surprised that you don't eat the tender seed pods of the moringa. They are delicious - a real delicacy in India. Also their flowers are cooked and eaten . The moringa seed pods are called drumsticks and they are lightly peeled and cut into three inch pieces and cooked in lentil curries or daals. When cooked, they flavour the whole daal and you can split them open and suck out the delicious flesh and seed pods while discarding the hard skin. Much like sucking the tender ccentres of artichokes leaves. Only much tastier. .

[@woopthereitis8954]

i planted moringa cuttings about two weeks ago in so cal, they already have new growth. i find that bigger cuttings work better, my theory is that they have more moisture and energy so they root better.

[@jadedeyesamuri]

So much moringa! I plan on growing some in pots and bringing indoors for the snowy winters.

[@MAnnielow]

Hi, this is Annie from Malaysia where Moringga is grown EVERY WHERE, sorry to make you envious. You don't need rooting powder, just cut a branc, about 2 feet in length and stick it in a hole with good fertile soil and it will grow. Even if you stick it in non fertile soil, it will still grow. We never pamper the cuttings. There are quite a few varieties of Moringa.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

yes but he lives in a desert climate maybe he needs pampering the cutting.

[@MrAdog1980]

I live in a tropical arid zone, and it grows fine. I have a mother plant, and have plenty of trees from it. So easy. And really hardy.

[@Tommen1957]

Hi Hannah. Does the diameter matter? Is the cutting leafless when you plant it?

[@MrAdog1980]

Nope.take off a branch at 10mm, and providing it has nodes on it, its good to plant.Ive now got 20 plus in my yard and nearly 50 done from seed.If you have any questions, I would love to help mate

[@daichimax]

Hi Annie, I live in hardiness zone 9b. Can I grow up Moringga in Osaka? Thanks!

[@peaceandlove5214]

Beautiful plant and place can be grown for fencing?

[@martinlaursen7972]

Thanks for sharing. How did it turn out?

[@lalithaganesan3372]

Thanks for the great video!! Do you get blanket worm on the tree and if yes how do you handle that

[@ronb1071]

Have you used roof gutter dirt water created from dead leafs and rain water to add to cuttings or seeds to start root growth?

[@elyserva7903]

In the Philippines, we just stick them into the ground. Planting them from seeds takes time to be productive!

[@interestingindia6824]

I had my Morringa in pot and decided to plant in garden but while taking out from pot it two branches broke so I planted both in my planter and it started growing and now I am getting fruits on it too. I love it

[@heatherm4621]

2019, how did your trees do? Got a follow-up video?

[@ez2btuber]

Awesome video my brother, I just planted my 1 st moringa tree and I am so excited, Thank you!!!!Bill

[@Tan05061]

Awesome Moringa tree is complete nutrients very healthy vegetable. One of my my favorite vegetable. Thanks for sharing this video. I love watching all the way from Philippines.

[@paa5451]

Love my Moringa Trees tell us how your cuttings did!! Love love love your garden. 💞🌱🍃🌿

[@kws1957]

You are blessed because at your location it is very warm.

[@psarathi9173]

I would recommend lubing the bottom of the cutting with fresh cowdung(not the manure from it), digging a slender hole in the ground filling it with fresh cowdung and finally pushing vertically and gently the lubed part of the bottom of the cutting into the lubed hole. Fresh cowdung acts as a moisturizer and rooting agent for all cuttings, no fancy rooting hormones are required.

[@itkuni]

Thank you, I think it is nice way for India.

[@Siddhartha040107]

That's how we plant moringa here in the Philippines. We ask a neighbor for a mature branch and just stick it on the ground ang in less than 2 weeks, little leaves will sprout usually on the branch nodes.

[@angellilywhite9666]

SIDDSTER Hi, would you know if a branch that was cut 7 days earlier will take?

[@tinawindham6958]

Stick it in a jug of water and then trim the base off, if it’s still green, you r good to go.

[@NonieK2267]

Wishing you all the best returns for your new journey in life. I continuously watch your former videos on your gardening and learn something new everyday. LOL that's because my memory is short and I have to re-watch everything but I never grow weary of watching your videos thanks for your hard work

[@globradshaw2741]

I live in TX. I watch your video while you are planting your Muringa tree. What I did is, I used the Muringa seeds and I grow it in a big pot, its growing good, but during winter time, they died. This is my favorite veggies, mix it with chicken and enjoy my soup.

[@jolatombarkiewicz5129]

Hi Jake I am vegan also and totally agree with you about the food, that actully makes me feel CLEAN and not craving. Moringa tree is my next projact to do . Will exchange the notes later. Thank you for all your tips.

[@AdamGrahamrawveganchef]

Excellent. Trimming a friends moringa's this week. Going to root some cuttings, dry leaves and brew tea from sticks and stems.

[@cushionofair]

I was a vegan/vegetarian for 17 years looking forward to getting back to it I don't think spirulina is considered vegan but it contains 50 to 70 percent protein another option is to grow giant sunflowers and use the seeds by eating them raw roasted sprouted or as sunflower seed butter . And then of course Moringa which is 30 percent protein same as beans .

[@badmoonrising8275]

I have a gene mutation (don't remember the name right now) but because of it my body can't process protein from plants except 1 kind of seaweed. Have you ever heard of that? I just decided from that it would be too hard for me to successfully be vegan but now I'm actually worried with this big push to get rid of meat in the world. Any ideas?

[@any2xml]

In India, people cook with moringa pods almost every day, lol! It makes delicious gravy to mix with rice. Pods, leaves, flowers are all edible. In Africa, the seeds are used for water purification.

[@mikmiklexi1366]

hi im jerald from the philippines, moringa is easy to plant and what jakemace do was a pro level I just like it

[@lieblee3063]

Jake I love your way of life. I too love vegetables

[@Ozjockey111]

fresh new moringa leaves are as good as spinach and can be used anywhere you use spinach but a whole lot more nutrition and antioxidants

[@ronaldramos4149]

ddd

[@badmoonrising8275]

My Moringa trees taste different. Sometimes nutty, sometimes peppery, sometimes bitter, sometimes like a spinach. It's so weird.

[@tinawindham6958]

My rabbits love them also!

[@artsiecrafty4164]

I went to your channel. It says you moved to Spain. I could not find the one that explains how the cuttings did. I will check again another time.

[@deliaramirez9361]

No updates...I guess the plantings were not successful.

[@freebird7625]

Very informative video, thank you so much, from Glendale, AZ! I have two Moringa’s, one small and another one a little bit bigger, this one needs pruning! I’m trying to learn more on how to trim it w/o hurting it. God bless you and your family!

[@rattycaddy]

Free Bird I don't think you can hurt a moringa tree. They are almost indestructible plants. Here in the Philippines we call it the malunggay tree. We had a huge storm come through the other night and I got a free malunggay branch out of the street hoping it will take root and be my new tree.

[@gracesullano7112]

We have 2 moringa trees that needs cutting. Thanks for your info. We cook the leaves for our chicken soup. We call them “malunggay” in the Philippines.

[@TheASTrader]

Have an update for us, Jake? I love moringa!

[@biosphericman180]

Great video thanks...respect to the moringa tree ancient African tree packed with nutrients

[@arunseigell7361]

Not native to Africa but comes from India

[@marianobanegas2228]

I need a moringa tree, thanks, for all this good information. (from Argentina)

[@davehanna1557]

Is there an update video on these two trees? I’m wondering if it worked out and if those cuttings turned into trees?

[@virginiathibodeau8628]

We love moringa !It's the perfect vegetable to pair almost everything! Growing moringa is not that hard as long as your have good soil and keep it moist! !Just cut and trim the extra limbs and stick to the ground ! :) It won't grow in a harsh cold weather though (winter)! Good luck!

[@Roger-ci4tp]

thanks for our input about the weather tht it will not grow in ( Winter ) ... Can u pls share as to approx wht temp you r ref to ? like do u think it will start in Delhi now in Mid October ? Temp is like 24 by night.

[@Roger-ci4tp]

24 Deg. Centigrade :)

[@claudeirby1561]

i tried some seed in the spring in willamette valley, oregon and they didn't do well and finally expired. it was probably too chilly for them out in the open. I didn't have access to a greenhouse at the time. Now i need to start over and stay indoors with the germinated seeds.

[@tarilwright9242]

jake-- I've been reading about the Moringa tree and the dedicated sites indicate that a tree grown from a cutting will not develop a tap root like a tree which is grown from seed will develop, so it will not be as drought resistant. Please let us know what you observe with your trees. I very much enjoy watching your garden develop. Thanks, Taril

[@daisystanley7103]

they should root, no worry....I have seen cuttings three times that thickness growing in a pot...they really are miracle trees.

[@karnagec7]

Do we need to score the cutting before applying rooting powder?

[@karnagec7]

Pardon me, you did shave the cutting :) thats like scoring

[@camacdonald257]

Gotta love those linebackers! I'm planting like 12-15 more for protection too

[@carolynolinger8885]

Both will make it. I use the root powder and it works. Comfrey leaves do the same as all the ingredients you put in that field hole🇺🇸

[@trashdog88]

Soak the branches in willow water or use raw honey for plant starts. Works really well.

[@NoNORADon911]

You have to soak the branches in lake Minnetonka lol. Prince joke

[@RR-iq8ze]

What is willow water?

[@emilyglasser1072]

Hi Jake, I'm asking you,as you know our climate. I'm in Tucson which is zone 9a slightly cooler than Phoenix. It's November 3rd and l was wondering if its too late to root large cuttings now. If anyone else might know I'd be grateful for your input, thanks.🌱🌿

[@shirleyscroggins9892]

Where can I get one are they sold at nursery

[@TheLXKid]

Lot of work! I have numerous trees and all I did was stick them in the ground about 8 inches and they grow. In your climate maybe it requires more to get them to grow.

[@daichimax]

Great training! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@tnunn3023]

In Philippines they just stick them into the ground and they grow...

[@MomtazGarden]

In Bangladesh also, thanks

[@nancyfahey7518]

In Florida too. I shoot the hose water into the ground, stick the branch in, back fill with the hose water.

[@ronwest7930]

He is in Phoenix. It is a harsh dry place for growing stuff.

[@beanerschnitzel794]

T Nunn awesome thank you sweetheart 💜🌸

[@beanerschnitzel794]

Momtaz Garden fantastic, God is amazing, isn’t he? Do you eat any part of the tree? If so, please explain.

[@unknowngoogleh5246]

I live in Oro Valley AZ i will try to do this just by sticking the big branch cutting on the ground and water it. Just the dirt and water.

[@eddiejthereal4854]

hey I heard that cinnamon can be used for rooting as a stimulant and antifungal props.

[@TheManofsorrows]

yes!

[@sabrinamachadosgarden3191]

So impressed to watch someone talking about the medicinal properties of Moringa leaves. We used to have em in our Backyard ( India ) . I tried 3 times here in NORCAL , however the plant was so tiny couldn't withstand the winter.

[@tinawindham6958]

Bring it in for the cold! It will love the summers and after a few the trunk will be big enough to leave outside mulched heavy, then if it die backs it will still shoot out again and grow as big as it was bf it froze back! Make sure it doesn’t sit in water during winter👍🏻

[@jlbutters2]

How did the cuttings do? Please post an update. Thanks!!

[@tinawindham6958]

So cute👍🏻

[@DaliborSaula]

Did the tree take or did it die?

What zone do you live ? Your moringa are awesome ! You did a good job .

[@pn3940]

everytime I trim down my moringa branches, I cut them into 2 ft long x 3/4 in. thickness and stick them in the ground. most of them will grow.

[@nannetteburnett5498]

you can plant or cut them both and grow

What's the best time to do PRUNING AT MORRINGGA?

Jake…! How did the cuttings do? It's been 4 months and a few hot days in there…. Im gonna try some cuttings this week… from the seeds you gave us a year ago… those trees are pushing 16 ft now! tons of seed pods, dropped a lot of leaves but Im pretty sure it is due to the energy and water all going to the pods!

[@MrChazz10]

We are in Australia but my mum is from asia and i know they use it everywher all the way to Africa. My mum grows it and uses the leaves mostly in soups with beef or fish, I'm not a vegan but i usually only eat rice with just the broth and the leaves from the soup and can never get enough. I've trimmed them before and from what I know of moringa tells me they aren't ideal as shade trees because they can drop alot of leaves especially if you're letting them grow to full size, they also produce numerous seed pods that can accumulate quite quickly. Also if you're letting them grow to full size it becomes difficult to harvest the leaves which is what you're using as you say and they aren't the sturdiest and can easily break or blow over during strong winds but even if they blow over they usually reroot themselves and their side branches just become become main stems. Best practice is to trim or cut them back regularly as they do coppice (grows back multiple shoots after being cut) and trim them to a convenient height so that the leaves are easier to harvest when you need them. They will eventually need to be re-planted from seed or cuttings but will usually last years. Also every part of the plant can be used even the seeds and seed pods and are eaten in some places like Thailand when the pods are very young and soft. I'd imagine they'd be a bit like broccolini or even green pea pods.

[@loycemarch8409]

Miss you in states.

[@ruthcamera]

So after you plant the moringa. How many times a you water it? Thanks so much for sharing.

[@VeganAthlete]

I water it for the first month less yet more frequently than when it is mature! After 2 years i only watered them like 3x a year

[@ruthcamera]

Can you try to be specific. I don't understand your explanation. once or twice a week or every other day. By the way, thanks.
