It's been an unseasonably warm winter in the Phoenix Valley and my moringa hasn't dropped any leaves. Still trim?

@benlabarre8072 Жыл бұрын

I have not trimmed any of mine yet.

@TheGardenNerd Жыл бұрын

That’s up to you, but I still would. As I mentioned in the video, the branches aren’t very strong. So if anything, I still trim it back a bit, just don’t hack it. Also, all it takes is one cold night and then all the leaves will fall off (or most of them). But if you don’t care about harvesting the leaves, then not as big of deal.

@@TheGardenNerd Well I care about shade above all else. I think most people take them down way too far.

@@TheGardenNerd Let me ask you, if a person hacks moringa trees back, takes all the leaves, does not fertilize or water once established, won’t that lead to soil depletion? Also poor nutrition in the leaves.

In theory yes, but that's assuming that backyard gardeners have nothing else growing close to the Moringa tree. For instance, in my yard, I have no direct water going to the tree, but I have many trees within a few feet of the tree that do get direct water. I also heavily mulch with other tree trimmings and grass clippings all around my trees, including the Moringa tree. So the tree is getting everything it needs. However, the beauty of the Moringa tree is that it can still grow in harsh conditions as you described.

I planted a moringa tree in my backyard specifically for the simple yet very delicious soup I can make of it. Boil water with salt, msg, onions, ginger, and chicken. Keep boiling with low heat for 20 minutes. Then add moringa leaves, cover, and turn off heat. Let it stay for 5 minutes before serving.

Add some Drumsticks also as veggies in soup, we uses it as a core ingredient for soup recipes...

I know this was a while back - I am trying in Ohio zone 6 - but have 5 in 22" planters - going to try to bring them in this winter and maybe plant one in the ground in the spring or 25 and see if I can keep in warm the following winter. started from seeds two are now about 3 feet tall

Tree Fountain (aka Tree of Life) 1- Bore a hole into and up a tree being careful not to bisect the core of the tree. Alternative: Use bamboo or grow sugar cane as a natural and permeable plumbing and cultivate it so that the tree grows around it. 2- Coat the inside of the hole with beeswax. I would highly recommend making a place to put a beehive in the tree near some water. The natural hum of the bees can promote health throughout the structure and through the water. 3- Put a water basin at the top and a fire pit or fireplace at the bottom. The water basin can actually be used for a secondary water source that would promote growth and potentially allow for the tree to grow taller. 4- Put copper pipe around the inside of the fire pit or up the chimney for a fireplace. This will act as a pump. (You can also use a hotplate if you prefer) The copper pipe should only be used close to the intense heat of the fire. Any amount of heat promotes upward movement in this case. 5- Add water wheels (fidget spinners can be used for some decent mini water wheels) for electricity. This electricity can also be used to promote growth in the structure and in gardens. Check out how electricity is used to directly and drastically improve plant growth. 6- Add hanging gardens for fresh produce. A vertical style garden will do several things to improve overall health and productivity. 7- Splice other saplings and/or fresh tree cuttings using the tongue and groove method for shelter. This can be done with roots as well as branches. Encouraging roots to intermingle and cultivating a healthy mycelium bed are both ways that allow all the plants to share nutrients and different forms of protection. This would create a natural network that can be used similar to a computer for both the plants and people if a computer interface is plugged into the chemical language of the plants. This design provides food, filtered and conditioned water and air, electricity, shelter and SO much more! Everything a person needs for life and survival. Hence the "Tree of Life" nickname! In addition to the benefits listed and the techniques described, this structure will grow and get stronger over time. Crystals can be used as a natural source of low level energy creation and as forms of transistors. Cymatics can be used as a form of communication directly with the plants. There is SOOOOO much more that can be done using this method for creating structures and homes BECAUSE it is living. -This idea will eliminate 90% of the demand for large corporations and industries. - This idea will reverse air pollution and filter the world's air naturally and beneficially. - This idea will reveal the counterproductivity of governments and starve the governments of their power. Your fear and desperation. There will be no need to clear cut entire forests to build ever again and this will encourage the natural ecology in our world instead of fighting with it. Be a part of the change. Not a part of the problem through government. We have made excuses for ignoring the fact that we are supporting all the problems we state we are against. Let's be the change!!!

How often do you water it?

@TheGardenNerd 10 ай бұрын

It never gets direct water. But there are trees around it that get deep watered once a week.

Valuable information about moringa tree, It is commonly known as Drumstick or Sahajan tree in India. Thanks

Did you use any fertilizer on your tree

@TheGardenNerd 6 ай бұрын

None. Except for tons of mulch that breaks down and feeds the tree.

I want my moringa seedlings to grow into duplicates of your tree as I want for them to be shade trees. I'm keeping them in a greenhouse and will plant them in the ground next spring. Thank you:)

Moringa is a great addition to any garden. Please peel back the onion a little bit when you say it grows great in Arizona - i.e. Flagstaff, Sedona, Wilcox, Bisbee, Tucson. It grows great in Maricopa County because you do not freeze. To say it grows great in Arizona is subjective to your growing environment and dismissive of growers outside of Maricopa county.
