It feeds people, butterflies and bees! So beneficial!

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

They are the reason we have food!

And thank you!

Have you tried Moringa? 😎🌳

[@nenaenriquez3480]

I grow Moringa too and love it!!! I wish everyone had at least one in their home/apartment... it's sooo worth!!!!

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Wonderful! It's one of our favorite trees on our property, it's a tree that keeps on giving!

[@hieronymusmeilink8316]

Great information, I had 12 of these trees in Buckeye, AZ before moving back to Oregon. Eating the leaves provided great health benefits. Planing on growing them in my greenhouse in pots 😊

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

WOW 12?! That's great!

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

What part of Oregon are you living now?

[@Rafsangani]

I have remove the message. Sorry for commenting on your posting , That was for another video

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

I totally understand. No worries 😎

[@alanpikku]

We have goats and chickens, and they love this stuff too. We have 2 right now. I plan on planting 5 in the front next spring to supplememt chicken and goat feed. You should check out the Chaya spinach tree. It grows amazing here also and taste better imo.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Have you noticed any changes in their manure? Do you use their manure for composting?

[@alanpikku]

​@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyardI use the goat poop for fertlizer. Chicken poop just looks more green, goat poop still looks the same.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

@@alanpikku overtime I would love to see the results on using their manure as fertilizer for plants. No need to ever buy any fertilizer of any kind?!

[@alanpikku]

​@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard I started using it on some of my trees this year, and my apple cactus fruits yielded gaint fruits, record sizes. Not sure if coincidence or not.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Could have been both our amazing spring and the fertilizer from your animals. 🤷

[@endoneswa]

There is a Borat somewhere in the tree. I mean, in the video. 😂 Very niceeee

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Ooh lala 😅

[@pibblesnbits]

@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard Wuhwuhweewow!

[@martiawesome]

How invasive are the roots..im planning on planting these kind near the fence wall in the west side of our backyard to provide a good shade in future summer months

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

I believe they are a fine root with a deep tap Root that goes straight down, relatively speaking. As long as they are pruned and managed yearly they won't need an aggressive root system.

[@mcbgrad]

I'm just learning about this tree, it sounds amazing and like something I want. What are your thoughts about planting about 10 feet to the west of a pool? I am starting to think, this may not be a good choice for the area. Which makes me sad. :( Appreciate any feedback and thoughts!

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Are you living in the Phoenix area?

[@lindasmock5420]

I am having an opposite isssue here in Arizona.a The tree is waterelogged right now due to all the rain. My leaves are not looking well. The drumsticks are verye small and thin. I have 3 sticks that are in pots not doing so well either. Can you ohelp me? Where are you located? I need to know if I have to get better soil. This tree has been in the ground 9 years now and this year is the worst year. I am in Mesa, AZ My Jacaranda tree is also doing poorly. I have had that one 15 years. I am wondering if the heat last year affected it. The soil under the Jacaranda tree is too akaline.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

All of our trees look like hell this time of year. Our Moringa is finally dormant, not pushing any growth. Wait till the end of March to prune it if you haven't already.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

We live in Surprise. The heat is over, it should have pushed out new growth in September and October.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Do you have a soil meter? It will tell you the ph, and moisture level. We use ours all of the time, it's one of the tools we use most on our property when checking soil conditions.

[@lindasmock5420]

@@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard soil is too alkaline

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

@@lindasmock5420 we have had slightly alkaline soil in the past. What is your pH at now?

[@cherylcook1942]

Its the only tree ive ever guerilla gardened

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

We love this tree. It provides nutrient dense food all year long.

[@Koya_Sipanlog_Express]

Thats a couple thousand dollars worth of moringa right there. Thats very expensive at the Filipino store around $6 a bunch.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

Really?! That's awesome, I wonder how much $ of it I eat a day LOL

[@jordanhuguenard8315]

Oops I have 23 trees in my backyard 🤯

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

That's awesome! Sounds like you have a great property. I wish I had more land, the things I could do.. LOL

[@jordanhuguenard8315]

@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard Yes, I am definitely blessed with a pretty large property, I was thinking I'd use it for fertilizer, personal nutrition and for animal feed

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

@jordanhuguenard8315 that's exactly what it should be used for.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

@jordanhuguenard8315 in my opinion it is the perfect tree to grow in zones 9 and above! If taken care of property it will provide for all life.
