I don't know which Zone you're in, but if you're in Zones 9-11, your Moringa tree will grow back on it's own after harvesting leaves. Plus it's VERY easy to grow from cuttings than seeds. It's hard to kill a moringa tree in the tropics, my tree grows back crazy fast after harvesting leaves. 🌻

Yes, large branches (truncheons) will root in the ground. Pencil size cuttings also work in perlite. I prefer seed grown as cuttings don't produce strong enough roots for moringa trees in my experience.

This tree is native to the Indian continent and is a part of various Indian cuisines. The name Moringa comes from Tamil/Sinhalese where it is called "murungyikai". Truly a versatile plant and a tree of life. It is also considered an aphrodisiac (maybe a legend).

[@Thekomokoro]

We call it Malunggay in the Philippines and knowing how Ancient Hindus traveled to Southeast Asia in ancient times I really think there's a link. It was present in the Philippine's pre-colonial era. The Moringa is believed to be very ancient and must have existed during the dinosaur era. Perhaps a plant species from the Garden of Eden.

Maybe the spiciness that you tasted from the moringa leaves are caused by: 1. consuming the leaves raw 2. Overcooking the leaves. NEVER OVERCOOK moringa leaves. The taste is nasty. 3. The very dark green mature leaves tends to have this spicy-like taste. Use the young leaves and shoots if you're going to consume the moringa as a vegetable. And an advice from someone who literally grew up with a moringa tree- moringa is MEANT to use as a fresh vegetable for cooking. The powdered leaves are added in local flour to fortify/add some nutrients to our local bread here (pan de sal). It's true that moringa leaves are often given to lactating mother's diet to enhance milk production. Yes moringa is chockfull of nutrients but not complete. Better consult a dietician/nutrionist/ physician if you wanna introduce moringa into your diet. Oh yeah if you don't know how to cook moringa leaves I suggest you search some Filipino dishes like Tinolang Manok/ Chicken Tinola with Moringa Leaves, Ginisang Munggo/ Savory Sauteed Mung Beans with Moringa Leaves, Snails in Coconut Milk and Moringa Leaves and Sauteed Canned Sardines (in Tomato Sauce) with Moringa. Cheers and good luck to you.

Eating Moringa RAW is more nutritious and healthier. Cooking it destroys the nutritional value of anything.

tell us more about this plant and how to grow...i have one and during winters drops all the leaves is that ok?also what the minimun temperature that could tolerate

[@Pepesplants]

Yes, they drop leaves in winter. I have had them survive temperatures around 35 degrees F. Mature trees do much better. Some have frozen and die back to the base in Central Florida. They often regrow from the roots and recover in the spring. Colder climates may kill them for sure.

[@ABCD15334]

@@Pepesplants so would recommend to put them inside?or make a construction to keep them safe or they will drop anyway below 10C for example?

[@oldman_eleven]

@@ABCD15334 ive seen a few videos where people cut them back and or create a cage around and stuff with leaf to help protect if it is very cold.

In the Philippines we grow moringa tree ,we used them as soup mixed with fish daily n so yummy

[@Pepesplants]

Thanks for sharing

[@derrickalex877]

What is the best moringa powder brand to buy?

[@Pepesplants]

The best is the one you make from the tree yourself. I really don't have a brand to recommend sorry.

[@saishyamnilgiri1]

I'm Indian, we cook the leaves like you'd do spinach. Not to be taken raw in excess.

[@PapiMike]

We call that Manluggay here in the Philippines and it is considered to be a super food.

[@JismL-No1]

Im glad I read this - I now respect the moringa more. Im in the process of growing my own.

Hope you get answers. We are just outside Dallas and just found out about this so ordered some seeds to give it a try. Would love to know more about caring for them in our area.

@@mnj5089 im very excited too about tis tree,,,some of the cuttings are growing well so as i can take a dailey nibble now, thats why i got 12 cttings…i just moved them into dappled shade yesterday because stress from heat. i ordered seeds also just in case this experiment failed,,,but im getting nice results. let me know what you decide how to plant your eeds ok? im very interrsted…i had to destress my garden from the heaat yesterdaaay and we,ll see how that experiment turns out! lolol, had a fig burning up! we will see.

[@mnj5089]

@@ponderinglife7528 Yes this weather is terrible! We just planted some new figs, blackberries, and a raspberry. Trying our best to get them through all of this heat. My seeds are coming and my plan for now is to plant just 2 or 3 and put those under grow lights inside for now and wait out the heat. Might keep them potting until Spring in fact but will have to see. If they do ok inside, I might start another 2-3 as well. Hoping by next year, the figs and blackberries are more established and will need less babying so we can get these going. Trying to make a smart and somewhat stealthy food forrest. Also bought a bunch of hostas on sale. Had no idea they were edible so really excited to get more of those going too. Stealth food! Just in case all of this gets really crazy. I never thought I'd wonder if I could pressure can any of this....

Sir, plz tell me how to identify edible moringa from non edible , some people say there are many non edible variety of this plant..

[@ramishrambarran3998]

Pepe. In my country the Indian people ( forefathers came from India) eat the young pods. They would take the young pods about 8" long, and remove the outer ribs on the skin with a knife. These ribs are hard. Then they would cut them up in 1' lengths and add them to whatever they are cooking in curry. Here the modern name is Moringa, but for more than a hundred years it was known as " SAI-JAN". Saijan is still sold in the markets in a bundle of about 20 pods. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

Question. I had my 1 year old moringa in a pot. Today I want to transplant it into a bigger pot and accidentally broke the tap root. Did I kill my plant or will it crest a new tap root? Any help is greatly appreciated l.

[@Pepesplants]

It wont grow back but that's okay in a pot. In the ground the tree would be weaker.
