Im watching this exactly 7 years after you filmed it, to the day! I love moringa!
Good info that I needed! Thank you, Sir!
we do continuous pruning from about 9 feet down to 3 feet.. whenever it gets above arm´s reach, just keep pruning it. You get a bush that is mucch easier to harvest from.
Great video about moraga cultivation, Thanks :)
Your Moringa is not producing any seed pods because you keep pruning them down. If you want seed pods and flowers, you must leave your trees to grow for 1 full year from date of pruning. Then it will produce Seed Pods and Flowers
I belive he said it dies back due to freezing so if he isn't pruning then he risks the whole tree dying in the frost. He got frost up until March!
I bought moringa seeds and planted a bunch of them (zone 7a). I now have 5 little moringa trees each about a half-foot tall. So exciting!
I can't yet eat the leaves, so in the meantime I take fermented moringa tablets. I'm still waiting for a really noticeable, remarkable improvement in health, but I'll keep trying and look forward to having my own supply of fresh moringa from trees.
great video.
Excellent short video on the Moringa Tree! Ours in SW FL is 25' tall and we have more leaves (and seeds) than we use ourselves so we give some away. We dry and make a powder out of the leaves which we add to many dishes.
Karl Becker Thanks, Karl. We dry the powder too. It's really easy thanks to the thinness of the leaves.
I have 2 seedlings to get in the ground thanks for the info
How do you keep them from freezing during cold times??
How much sunlight is recommended for (purchased) seedlings to grow well? Full sun, mostly sun, half sun/half shade, etc?
do you take then indoors in the winter ?
Ok, you've convinced me to grow moringa. We live in Texas and are blessed/cursed with a West-facing backyard. Great sunlight for growing, but that side of the house and the garage are almost unbearably hot in the Summertime. We've been researching fast-growing trees to mitigate the problem.
So, since moringa grows so fast, and has such profound health benefits, would it make sense to plant several along our back fence for a little shade? From your video, it looks like it would provide dappled shade rather than so much shade we couldn't grow food in our backyard. We could provide a heavy mulch layer over the Winter to keep it alive. Does this sound like it would work to you?
Thanks for all you do. I'm learning so much from you. ~ Lisa
I grew a moringa from seed it’s about 2 and half feet .. I gre it on my back porch in a grow bag over winter 2022 in central florida. Now it’s July 2023 and I’m think of transplanting it in the ground and when it gets cold putting what u called a ring around the trunk?
Please show me how you make the Moringa tea
I have not had any luck starting from seeds. But you said something i did not think about. May be the seeds can not be started in good soil? Not sure what the issue is. glad you said how fast they grow. I did not know they grow so fast. Thank you :) have a awesome day.
Tammy Williams Seeds don't stay viable for very long: your seeds are probably too old. They'll sprout in good soil or bad soil, though wet soil will cause them and the seedlings to rot.
Tammy Williams I have to disagree about the viability. I bought some seeds at least 3 years ago that I never got around to sprouting until a couple weeks ago. I soaked them in water for about 24 hours, then sealed them in a tupperware container with a wet paper towel and left them in a window sill. Almost all of them sprouted within a couple days.
Thank you Ben Fears :) for the info I will give it a try.

what frozen temperature you have in northern Florida. I really wanted to grow one here in metro Vancouver BC, the lowest freezing temperature can reach to -5. Do you think I can plant this super food in our place?
Where I was in Florida would hit 12 degrees Fahrenheit overnight, every few years. Usually more like 20 degrees F. You can grow moringa where you are as an annual - plant the seeds and they'll get at least 5-6 foot tall and give you plenty of leaves before winter kills them.
David The Good . Thank you for giving me advice, yes! I will plant moringa.
We lost all of ours two winters ago. The winter was really hard here in SW Louisiana. I wonder if it was that all of them were from cuttings. We got some seeds from the Philippines this year and they are growing very well .Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt Thanks, Bob. I hope they pull through. The roots seem to be a lot stronger on seed-grown moringa for sure - cover 'em up well for the cold and I'll bet some pull through. You can see how I protect mine in my other video on frost protection. th-cam.com/video/XkZYCgSvxew/w-d-xo.html
David The Good , great videos! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you, Nang.
I am in north California .Should I directly sew the seed in ground ?
I would, yes. If the ground is warm, they will sprout and grow strong.
I'm trying to grow Moringa in NC (zone 7B) and have a question about setting seeds. You said yours don't set seeds in northern FL. How long a season does it need to set pods? Do you think bringing indoors a couple of plants in pots in the fall would give them a long enough growing season to set seed pods? Thank you.
I have one out of 7 that sets seeds, and it sets seeds every year (it's 4 years old) it bloomed in April and it's now August and the seed pods are about 15 inches long and pulling the whole tree sideways. It used to concern me but we do this every year. I used to try to stake it upright but it seems to want to lean. It's also the only moringa I have that's only 5' tall
@@melissab8500 That's great! Where are you? What zone? I"m near Raleigh, NC, and I know the cold will kill them outside here by Nov. The stems are flimsy, and I often have to stake some of the little seedlings until they get bigger. I have lots of little ones (smaller than 5 feet) so far, but I just found seeds to plant this spring. So they're only a few months old. Do you "harvest" the top third of them for the leaves or just let them grow?
@@kathyyoung1774I'm in northern Central Florida, zone 8. so far I've just been letting them grow they've stayed around 7-8 ' tall. This year though, wow! Not sure why but they're all around 12'. I'll have to cut them down for the winter soon. We had the longest sustained cold in a long time last winter. It was 21° 4 nights in a row 🤷♀️ maybe that had something to do with it
@@melissab8500 Thank you for the feedback. I lived in Gainesville for 36 years (zone 9) and recently met someone who grows it there all year. I suppose weather affects the yearly growth, as well as age. I'm hoping to get some to grow long enough to set seeds and become sustainable. One of my friends has just been diagnosed wtih stage 4 cancer, no treatment possible, and we read that moringa has cured cancer in lab mice, so I'm growing lots of it for her, too. She's using that and colloidal silver. Do you dehydrate the leaves and stems when you cut them down?
@@kathyyoung1774 I'd be happy to send you some seeds of the one I've got that flowers early 🤔 or a few cuttings. I just hang it upside down with a sheet under it, all the leaves fall off easily after a day or two, then I finish in the oven or outside depending on the weather. I've heard that about moringa vs cancer, it's one of the reasons I started growing it-just in case. Look into fasting/ no-carb vs cancer also. I hope it lives up to it's name for your friend
I planted one 8 months ago. Its grown pretty well but has stopped growing up after about 8 feet. How long did they take to grow up to 20+ like you have in the video?
+mrd05d Depends on your climate. They really don't grow much at all any time the weather dips below the 70s. If it's nice and hot out and there's plenty of rain, they grow like crazy. Mine would hit 20' from April - October every year, then do absolutely nothing (except sometimes freeze to the ground) during the other months.
+David The Good I live in Brandon area which makes your channel awesome as our climates are fairly similar. I would be more towards zone 9 than zone 8 though.
David would you please tell me where I can purchase a tree? No on in my area even knows what it is. 🙄
The best option is to buy some seeds online - they grow very readily and can reach 10' within a year.
Buy them from ECHO in Ft Myers
I live in S.C. and have loads of trees that look just like that in my yard, is it possible that they could be morringa? How do I identify them?
Ask a Philipino granny, they'll know.
Hi...Can I grow moringa in South Carolina?
Yes, but probably just as an annual. You can get a big tree by the end of the growing season and have plenty of leaves to dry and save.
Can you grow this in Portugal or France?
2baSelkie moringa trees like climates with no frost/snow,they do well in tropical warm climate but not temperate unless grown in doors in.winter
Definately can, just depends on where you are. The bloke above makes moringas seem like coconut palms, if you’re in zones 9 or above witch would be coastal portugal and france’s mediterranean coast you should be fine.
I livein Texas but my10 inch Maranga tree is falling over.I already have to stake them.
I’ve had to stake mine, too. It’s a very scrawny trunk. I planted from seed in the spring and it’s now over 10 feet tall.
David ,can I get a myringa tree in Deltona Florida.
It's hard to find them here (in deltona!) I bought seeds online.
Did you ever find a place that had some? There's a nursery in debary that may have some. (I think it's called debary nursery.) Also there's a small nursery down the road from that one called Natalia's garden center, she may have some!

Minds take too long to grown stud I think it grows better in sandy soilb
It's a little more problematic growing Moringa in Washington State.
This needs a crane to harvest the leaves
Yeah. I used to get a kick out of seeing how tall they'd grow before a windstorm knocked them down. My moringa now are chopped low for easier harvesting.
That thing only grew in 1 year??!????
Yeah, they are incredible.
@@davidthegood whoooa no way....
