Thank you for a very informative video! Watching from South Carolina. I have been growing Moringa for several years and love it!

Thanks for watching. I've been eating the Moringa Tree leaves, flowers, and pods for over 15 years and feel I am healthier because of them.

Do they grow well in South Carolina? What is your growing zone?

@edibletropicaltrees 2 ай бұрын

Moringa trees like warmer climates. The hotter it is, the faster they will grow. I'm in zone 9b.

Fellow mesa zoni, the fence idea is pretty cool. I might have to do that to finally give some afternoon shade to my front yard

What zone are you in? I had one I planted in ground cut to 3 ft tall and stuck a big 3’ wide tomatoe cage stuffed with leaves for insulation. Zone 8- but got down to about 15 degrees for two nights. Came back but then the branches were so slow to grow and eventually just died altogether. Will try cutting down to ground I guess….any other tips? I really don’t want to just grow in pot.

Thanks for watching. I'm in zone 9b, so it doesn't get too cold for them in my area. Moringa trees don't like cold weather. They are such fast growing trees, growing in containers doesn't work very well. Cutting them back and putting the cage around them, like you did, is the best way to try and get them through the winter in colder areas, because they don't like colder weather.

San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. I've been growing one moringa for about three years now. It's only 3feet tall, but supplies me with lots of leaves. I'm going to try that make-a-fence concept; it'll be my project for this Spring.

@edibletropicaltrees 6 ай бұрын

That's strange that it's only 3 feet tall, they usually grow tall and fast.

@alltogetherart 6 ай бұрын

Probably because it's in a pot. It is in no way disappointing though.

Thanks for sharing the idea of a moringa fence. I watched this from New Zealand. Auckland. I planted seven seeds in pods three years ago, five came out as little plant. I put them under the roof facing the sun in winter. the first year, all the stems disappeared, two of them regenerated the next year. the rest did not show up. I now have two of them, I cut them into about 1.5 meter tall and put them in my greenhouse. Your fence idea inspired me to grow more of them but how can I be sure that some of them will survive the winter here if I plant them directly into the ground?( about 1 or 2 degree C in July.)

Moringa trees don't really like cold weather. I've heard some people during the cold weather, cut them back and putting a wire fence around them and fill it with straw, to try and keep them warmer during the cold weather. It doesn't get cold enough where I live in Mesa, Arizona to worry about the weather.

@johnzx14rk94 I know what you mean, there's a lot of clay and rocks in my area also. I dig the hole a little and then put water in and let it soak in overnight and then dig some more. I put a foot of wood chips (you can get wood chips free from tree trimming companies) in every year and better soil is building up gradually.

@@johnzx14rk94 Hi John, I live in San Antonio, Texas. They should do fine in the clay and rock. One thing I've noticed is that if you cut them down to the ground level right before the first freeze, they'll have a much higher survival rate when coming back the next year. They'll peak out of the ground around April/May each year, but then zoom to be about 15-20 feet tall by October.

@@AdventureSquadOverland The deeper the pot you can get, the taller the trees will grow. They do have a tap root and the depth of the tap root will control how tall the tree will get. But even a small tree will give you some of the nutritious leaves of the tree to eat.

I'm in Arkansas. I bought some Moringa seeds off of eBay a couple of years ago. I have started them in wet paper towels left them in a Ziploc bagie for a few days. Then planted the sprouts in solo cups, transferred to 3 gallon pots after they were growing good. I now have 8 I started this spring and they are outside doing very well. I live in a climate that gets cold in winter so haven't tried to keep them alive in winter. I have built a green house using cattle panels now and plan to try to keep them in there through the winter. Thanks for sharing your information with us. It's a journey not a destination.
