I know this video is 2 years old but it definitely helped me today. My jaw dropped learning these facts. I have been mindlessly enjoying what seemed like 10 -15 different species of bees all coming to my Moringa tree the past few months. It was so cute to see them enoying the flowers of the tree. I felt like I was helping nature do its thing. Little did I know it would turn my Moringa tree into a drumstick only tree. :'( - your learning neighbor in Lakeland lol
Oh yes! That was the case here as well, until I started planting moringa in Tampa and St. Pete, now we have over 300 properties growing moringa with members from all over the world. Malunggay is the Philippines most popular tree. +Kendrick
Thanks for this information, I am in Australia and with our very hot summers would love my moringa to be more bushy, unfortunately the cockatoos that visit every day also love the leaves.
I have been looking for a channel on moringa and this video popped up as a suggestion. Perfect timing. I'm in California so I hope my seedlings will grow into big enough trees, even bush size would work so I can cover them when we get frost. Thank you for this channel.

@@GrowMoringa I just received 50 Moringa seeds from Florida with planting instructions. I`m in central Louisiana so I`ll have to bring plants/cuttings indoors to overwinter but I have two very bright LED grow lights and plan to learn indoor growing, especially lettuce. I got seven tabletop indoor hydroponic gardens and over 30 pounds of dry nutrients you mix into the water ahead of this fertilizer shortage. I`ll likely use it to water my outdoor garden plants too if needed.
Hi, I’m in Clearwater FL and have a bunch of stick cuttings from my big happy trees that are growing well. However, I grouped several sticks, like 7-10, together in 2 gal buckets and I’m wondering at what point should I separate them? It’s been almost a month and they all have healthy new growth coming in. Honestly I didn’t expect them all to take but they did and I know they’ll need more space but don’t want to stress new roots too soon. Any advice is much appreciated!
Wonderful! You could leave them for the winter and split them out once they have bigger roots in spring. Or just pull one out now and see if it takes in a new pot. Experiment and have fun. Thanks for watching. +Kendrick
Im fairy close to you (Zephyrhills), but i didn't see on your site how i can buy a tree or two from you. Do you have to become a member to buy from the nursery?

How can I get mornings seeds that will grow? I have purchased so many from different places but, they never germinated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Over here in Malaysia, we can get the moringa fruit from the market. Locally, it is called buah kelor. The fruit is cut into three-inch pieces and cooked in curry with coconut milk. Such curry is absolutely delicious (at least, for us in Malaysia). I am unaware of the health benefits of moringa until recently. I am delighted that something so common place is now being lauded for its health benefits.
That's wonderful, the best thing ever coming from your own trees. I am grinding up the whole seeds and making powder capsules out of them, that's been working well for me too. +Kendrick
I venture to say that it's not just moringa trees that would do better in partial shade. These past few years have been very hot and damaging to plants in geographical areas that have not had these problems before. I live in Florida, in Gulfport, and this past summer has been brutal. The plants that got partial shade from the trees (in pots and out of pots) did ever so much better than those that didn't. I believe that due to the sun's changes and our shifting planet, our growing methods have to change or we will continue to lose food and ornamental crops. The big growers are going to have some challenges, as provisions for shade and moisture in hard times are going to be expensive and require re-thinking how we grow things. Covering the soil with organic mulch and plastic "mulch" may be needed. I have two moringa trees. I have yet to eat any leaves from them, as they are both still young. One got broken off, and I made cuttings and planted them next to the mother plant. I hope they set roots. The mother plant is already making side shoots. Thank you for your very good video.
There is an arizona gardener that puts all his trees in full sun and they are fine. I do believe that shading his trees would have even better results. My experience is similar to yours in that my slightly shaded trees are growing thicker and faster than those in full.
@@joselopez-he1mc Mine survived it's first full summer in Phoenix this year it was crazy hot and dry and it was in full sun. Turned a little brown for a few weeks but it looks great now! I took the seeds from the springtime and now have 4 more sprouts about 6" tall already
Thank you for your advice. I put mine, which was 7 ft. tall but was going straight up- in the ground & cut it like you have it. Hopefully it will begin to grow & I will have more branches. Greetings from you in Lakeland.

So happy I found this video! I have little plantlings and I was worried they wouldn't maintain a lush greenery that so many people struggled to get! Now I know how to take care of my little batch :) Definitely will share this with my friend!
Thank you I recently cut a long thin moringa about a year old. It’s starting to grow another growth. I think I need to change the soil so it drains better. Should I feed it plant food also
Do you harvest the pods Green or wait until they are brown and starting to split to use for oil or planting. Greeting from Australia. We have 28 trees and are planting over 40 more.
Thank you for this info. I have a small tree, and will repot it. I ate the little tender shoot leaves after watching this video, nice taste. I look forward to having tea from the flowers.
I started a few seeds back in May but didn’t get much germination, however in July I tried again and three out of 5 sprouted so I currently have three doing well. I’ll be transplanting them next month in my yard.
Scientists have confirmed that plants in nature do communicate with each other and even share nutrients and water with weaker ones that aren`t doing as well. I grew up on a five acre very busy farm in Louisiana and have decided to grow some exotic plant varieties we never planted mainly as nutrient/protein dense prepping foods. I`m moving soon and I imagine my yard and home will eventually become a plants freak show. So I`m ordering tons of different types of heirloom seeds and plants and have gotten grow lights, a greenhouse, and seven indoor tabletop hydroponic gardens so I can have lettuce and herbs all year and over-winter things like peppers. My poor bees died. They were always very friendly. Now we have the Africanized bees in the area and I saw one serious attack and decided not to get another hive. Dealing with yellowjackets here is bad as it is. I don`t want honeybees attacking me too. We have a very mean dark colored wild honeybee here, I believe a tough Russian breed the old beekeepers used to raise, but new forms of beekeeping with calmer Italian bees made them stop messing with the mean ones.
I'm drinking fresh moringa tea leaves and flowers right now. Then I'm heading out to move my potted Moringa tree's into the shade lol. Thanks Kendrick.
My friend put a lot of fresh moringa leaf in fried egg. Fried egg turned to green colour, but taste good. We ate moringa fried egg with white rice.. Yummy :)
I want to grow mine tall to shade my enclosed porch. I practically live out there with all the wildlife outside the screen. But we had to remove 2 huge sweetgum for safety reasons and now it's too hot. We are also surrounded with live oak. That keeps it warmer in the yard. I could drive to the end of our road and everything is covered with frost. I also planted silverthorn to block hurricane winds. Thinking ahead.
My neighbor said " there is a moringa tree" across from the driveway. Didn't have a clue. But wow , what a gift. 3 bushy plants from getting chopped back last year. Loving all I can do with it.
I have a couple if moringa cuttings and they seem to grow very slowly...the tiny shoots have not progressed well, but I'm still hopeful. I enjoyed watching your video, I love your enthusiasm. New friend here from Texas.
I live in Phoenix AZ. I have tried on four different occasions to grow a Moringa tree. They have all died at the soil level. They get a dent, or divot in their trunk and they just fall over. Someone told me it is inconsistent watering. How much water should a little 6-8” tree get? Our sun is brutally hot, so I have them in mostly shade, and water a little each evening.
I’m in zone 10a, Southern California. My moringa tree is currently in a pot. It’s about 7-8 feet tall. It has green leaves and some flowers. When can I cut it down and transplant it into the ground? What should I be doing? I’m new to growing a moringa tree. 12/15/23
Wonderful! You're doing great so far, I like that you know to trim back and transplant at the same time. There's no better time than now, I think that's the saying. She'll do great. +Kendrick
What do you charge for the really small ones. I’d like to sell them but I have no idea what to charge, what about a plant in a 3 gallon pot. I have a huge moringa tree that towers over my house. How do you use the flowers?
I’m in 9 B zone in San Diego ca. my tree is planted in a huge tire tractor for its roots to grow. My Miranga tree lost all its leaves. It’s over 8ft tall. It looks dormant. Will the leaves grow back and become big and bushy? How do I get this Moranga tree Bushy. I cut it back once and it was still sparse in leaves. What can I do to get a bushy healthy tree
Wonderful! Cutting it back is good, the tire could be helping..or, it could be also heating up too much because that tire can be hot, but the earth is actually cool, just under the surface, but the tire could be heating up the surrounding surface levels. Does nature use tires? nature usually uses mulch, good soil and compost. You may want to dig her out of the tire, dig a hole and fill with good soil, and cover the surrounding area with mulch of some kind. I've only grown in florida and we have oak trees everywhere. Mulch is abundant. She could also use some FOOD! feed her some of my organic fertilizer, we make it from moringa leaves. Its USDA organic and helps with all plants, especially moringa. Grab your BIOBOX here to make her grow BIG. growmoringa.shop/products/biobox Thanks! +Kendrick
I’ve just started my first Moringa Tree in a large Flower pot and I know I’m going to have to trim it to keep it in side my house when the weather starts getting colder. I’m in the Eastern side of the Western shore Dundalk, Maryland 21222 and I want to keep it short and bushy. Should I take the upper limbs off and keep the main trunk going? I’ll try to send you a picture of my Moringa Plant.
You do know that you can always get seeds for practically pennies and grow another next year. And if you’re needing Moringa you can find some Good already powdered from a guy in Florida also Check out TH-cam.be/9Q4Y-EIOoYM For all kinds of Natural Moringa seeds and Powder.✅
Thanks for the video. I’ve got three or four moringa‘s that are long and skinny about 10 feet tall with just a little bit of foliage right at the top. They don’t really do much and I was curious as to how to get them to produce more leaves drumsticks etc.
Hi Kendrick how about the moringa seed benefits. Are they healthy to eat as well? Im a South African Indian. We grew up eating these drumsticks and the leaves. Had no idea until recently of its great benefits.
Take the fresh flowers, dip in batter and fry like chicken. They can be used as a garnish or dried for tea as well. Eat the greens fresh or Dry them to make tea. Even powder the leaves and make into a supplement. I teach how to do all these things in the grow Moringa collective members area. +Kendrick
Hi My tree doesn't grow much; produces some flowers and few starts growing baby drum sticks and after a wk they 1 wk old drum stick drops off. What should I do?
Can anyone tell me the reason for some leaves turning yellow on my moringa trees which are generally about 8 to 9 years old? Would the reason be insufficient calcium?
We have farm and plant moringa. You said you removed and separate the flowers? Moringa drumstick is from the flower. So if you are.removing the flowers, your moringa cannot have drumstick. Moringa plant grow faster if they're in the sun at least 6 hrs a day.
Thank you that’s right, I don’t want drumstick on trees that I can reach the flowers. I want the tree to get big enough that it will produce hundreds of drumstick after the first year. +Kendrick
I don’t own a home so I have keep a lot of my plants in pots. I know they have a tap root system so I heard I can’t keep them in a tall pot forever. Should I just give it away now then :( it’s skinny and just one tall trunk.
If they are in pots, pull them out each year, cut the roots a little and put it back in the pot with new soil. Keep Moringa’s in a pot no problem. +Kendrick
Dwarf morninga a real thing? Will seeds be dwarf seeds... Or back to original tree I found a tree and the seeds were mini vs other Moringa seeds. Maybe just smaller batch
Haha! I like how you associate dwarf tree with a mini seed, those were most likely from an immature drumstick. Yes there is a dwarf variety and yes, it could revert back to original, there are mutations. +Kendrick
Greetings and thank you. Grab the 10kg sack of seeds from me here and plant them all on the acre for fast track to success. +Kendrick growmoringa.shop/products/moringa-seeds
Do you use similar seeds? Fruits can be different, depends on the seed. Some are very tasty, some are not. So you need to preserve and grow the tasty seed to develop the farm.
Hi I need som of the mornings tree in my back yard please let me know how much and how can I got it thanks .My name Is Gamal Hassan I live in Conroe Tx .thanks again
I have a question my moringa tree is turning all yellow looks like it's dying and it's about I say 20 ft tall haven't put nothing on it no fertilizer no nothing just water I don't know what to do
Greetings David, not to worry, but the trees do need some food. The trees like it dry also, could be too much water. The water could be from the city with chemicals, it could also be that the leaves naturally turn yellow, it's best to get more answers from watching several other videos and also join us in the members area for more help. +Kendrick
That’s quite alright, sometimes people need to hear the same thing over and over. In simple terms, pop the tops for more bushy trees. Thanks for watching and best wishes in growing moringa. +Kendrick
I put my moringa tree in the ground a month ago and it's already "podding". Is it too soon to cut it back because maybe it's still adapting to its new "home".
Howdy, I’m in Plant City Fl. It was not hard at all. Only $30 and nursery license from Fl. On dept. Of Ag website. The inspection is only for shipping trees to California. +Kendrick
You forget to say if we must keep the soil moist or wait more dry before watering. I presume that you water the soil and not the leaves? It’s what I did.
In the greenhouse, we're only watering the pots/soil and not the leaves, but when they are in the ground, it's not so much as a problem watering leaves, like nature. +Kendrick
I miss that drumstick! Just saute that with pork, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. You can also cook it with squash, string beans and bitter gourd.

I found a tree about 4-5ft tall in a 5gallon pot. Zone 9 Gulf coast of Texas. Should I repot and cut back. Should I plant into ground or wait til Spring? New to this.
It sounds like you have a promising Moringa tree! In Zone 9 along the Gulf Coast of Texas, you're in an ideal region for Moringa to thrive. Here are some suggestions: Repotting: If your Moringa tree is getting a bit crowded in its 5-gallon pot, it might be a good idea to consider repotting it into a larger container. Make sure the new pot has good drainage. Moringa trees appreciate room for their roots to spread. Pruning: You can prune the tree, but do it gently. Moringa trees respond well to pruning to encourage bushier growth. However, it's essential not to trim too much at once, especially if it's still relatively young. A light trim is usually sufficient. Planting in the Ground: If you plan to eventually plant it in the ground, consider doing so in the spring when the soil is warmer. Moringa trees love warm soil, and planting in spring provides them with the best start. Moringa Love +Marie
@@GrowMoringa I`m planting some flowers and trees for the butterflies and bees when I move. I bought native milkweed to plant for the endangered Monarchs and plan to bring the pupa/cocoons inside in a cage to hatch.
Africanized bees or just reverting back to a more natural genetic state? We raised bees and didn't do our spring maintenance consistently, going in and killing any queen larvae as recommended and normally done by the pros. The old queen always leaves with a swarm and over the yrs the new queens produced increasingly vicious bees to the point they'd be waiting outside our doors for weeks to attack us after we robbed the honey. African had nothing to do with it just the docile nature of purchased queens became more wild in successive generations.
The best way to grow a Moringa tree from a cutting branch is by following these steps: Select a Healthy Branch: Choose a branch from a mature Moringa tree that is at least one inch in diameter and has several healthy leaves. Cut the Branch: Use a clean, sharp knife or pruning shears to make a clean cut, ideally at a 45-degree angle. The cutting should be around 3 feet long. Remove Leaves: Remove most of the leaves from the cutting, leaving only a few at the top. This reduces water loss and encourages root development. Plant the Cutting: Plant the cutting in a well-draining potting mix or directly in the ground, burying it at least 1-2 feet deep to ensure stability. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Moringa cuttings need proper hydration to establish roots. Provide Sunlight: Place the cutting in a sunny location, as Moringa trees thrive in full sunlight. Protect from Wind: Protect the young cutting from strong winds, as they can damage the delicate roots. Patience: It may take several weeks to months for the cutting to establish roots and begin to grow. Be patient and continue to care for it during this time. Remember that Moringa trees are hardy and can grow rapidly once established. With proper care, your cutting should develop into a healthy Moringa tree." THANK YOU MORINGA LOVE! +MARIE

There’s so many things to do with moringa, it’s very versatile. +Kendrick
I used to live off of Walden Sheffield Rd. Small world.
I have a couple if moringa cuttings and they seem to grow very slowly...the tiny shoots have not progressed well, but I'm still hopeful. I enjoyed watching your video, I love your enthusiasm. New friend here from Texas.
Thank you. Trimming back more regularly with inspire faster growth. Like a slingshot. Cut back for it to sprout even bigger.
I live in Phoenix AZ. I have tried on four different occasions to grow a Moringa tree. They have all died at the soil level. They get a dent, or divot in their trunk and they just fall over. Someone told me it is inconsistent watering. How much water should a little 6-8” tree get? Our sun is brutally hot, so I have them in mostly shade, and water a little each evening.
If they’re dry, give them some water. +Kendrick
I started from seed and now they’re about 3 feet tall but skinny and putting on leaves. How do I make it get thicker trunk?
Give her a hair cut, trim the stem back to 1-2’ feet and she’ll thicken. +Kendrick
I’m in zone 10a, Southern California. My moringa tree is currently in a pot. It’s about 7-8 feet tall. It has green leaves and some flowers. When can I cut it down and transplant it into the ground? What should I be doing? I’m new to growing a moringa tree. 12/15/23
Wonderful! You're doing great so far, I like that you know to trim back and transplant at the same time. There's no better time than now, I think that's the saying. She'll do great. +Kendrick
My moringa is 21/2 to 3 yrs. old .. trunks is about 7 to 8 inch diameter, 15 foot or taller not bushy..an never bloomed..???
Wonderful, give her a trim back short to start over and give you fresh new branches. Now is the season. +Kendrick
What do you charge for the really small ones. I’d like to sell them but I have no idea what to charge, what about a plant in a 3 gallon pot. I have a huge moringa tree that towers over my house. How do you use the flowers?

I’m in 9 B zone in San Diego ca. my tree is planted in a huge tire tractor for its roots to grow. My Miranga tree lost all its leaves. It’s over 8ft tall. It looks dormant. Will the leaves grow back and become big and bushy? How do I get this Moranga tree Bushy. I cut it back once and it was still sparse in leaves. What can I do to get a bushy healthy tree
Wonderful! Cutting it back is good, the tire could be helping..or, it could be also heating up too much because that tire can be hot, but the earth is actually cool, just under the surface, but the tire could be heating up the surrounding surface levels. Does nature use tires? nature usually uses mulch, good soil and compost. You may want to dig her out of the tire, dig a hole and fill with good soil, and cover the surrounding area with mulch of some kind. I've only grown in florida and we have oak trees everywhere. Mulch is abundant. She could also use some FOOD! feed her some of my organic fertilizer, we make it from moringa leaves. Its USDA organic and helps with all plants, especially moringa. Grab your BIOBOX here to make her grow BIG. growmoringa.shop/products/biobox Thanks! +Kendrick
I’ve just started my first Moringa Tree in a large Flower pot and I know I’m going to have to trim it to keep it in side my house when the weather starts getting colder. I’m in the Eastern side of the Western shore Dundalk, Maryland 21222 and I want to keep it short and bushy.
Should I take the upper limbs off and keep the main trunk going? I’ll try to send you a picture of my Moringa Plant.
Wonderful! Yes, they are very heat loving trees, yes keep trimming the branches and stems, keep the trunk going. send pics to 813.567.311 +Kendrick

Thanks for the video. I’ve got three or four moringa‘s that are long and skinny about 10 feet tall with just a little bit of foliage right at the top. They don’t really do much and I was curious as to how to get them to produce more leaves drumsticks etc.
Wonderful, yes cut them back regularly for more greens. Download The free moringa manual now available at growmoringa.com
Hi Kendrick how about the moringa seed benefits. Are they healthy to eat as well?
Im a South African Indian. We grew up eating these drumsticks and the leaves. Had no idea until recently of its great benefits.
The seeds are eaten with or without the shell. They can have vitamins and minerals. I eat them all the time. Many people do as well. Try it. +Kendrick
I am so happy that you’re close! I just started a few seeds but would love some cuttings.
Wonderful, when the rains start back up again, we'll have lots of cuttings. +Kendrick
How do you cook or fry the flowers. What are the uses for the flowers?
How do you process the moringa leaves for tea? What about
green fresh leaves ??
Take the fresh flowers, dip in batter and fry like chicken. They can be used as a garnish or dried for tea as well. Eat the greens fresh or Dry them to make tea. Even powder the leaves and make into a supplement. I teach how to do all these things in the grow Moringa collective members area. +Kendrick
Hi My tree doesn't grow much; produces some flowers and few starts growing baby drum sticks and after a wk they 1 wk old drum stick drops off. What should I do?
Keep growing, continue to learn, grow more and experiment. +Kendrick
Can anyone tell me the reason for some leaves turning yellow on my moringa trees which are generally about 8 to 9 years old? Would the reason be insufficient calcium?
Could be, but moringa leaves turn yellow fast, they don’t last long. Harvest them before turning yellow. +Kendrick
We have farm and plant moringa. You said you removed and separate the flowers? Moringa drumstick is from the flower. So if you are.removing the flowers, your moringa cannot have drumstick. Moringa plant grow faster if they're in the sun at least 6 hrs a day.
Thank you that’s right, I don’t want drumstick on trees that I can reach the flowers. I want the tree to get big enough that it will produce hundreds of drumstick after the first year. +Kendrick
I don’t own a home so I have keep a lot of my plants in pots. I know they have a tap root system so I heard I can’t keep them in a tall pot forever. Should I just give it away now then :( it’s skinny and just one tall trunk.
If they are in pots, pull them out each year, cut the roots a little and put it back in the pot with new soil. Keep Moringa’s in a pot no problem. +Kendrick
Dwarf morninga a real thing? Will seeds be dwarf seeds... Or back to original tree I found a tree and the seeds were mini vs other Moringa seeds. Maybe just smaller batch
Haha! I like how you associate dwarf tree with a mini seed, those were most likely from an immature drumstick. Yes there is a dwarf variety and yes, it could revert back to original, there are mutations. +Kendrick

Yes absolutely! Great idea. I'm happy to help. Text me for specific answers to moringa questions. 813-567-3100
Yes, I need to know as well. Perhaps in a greenhouse. But I wish this were a hardy tree.
the drumsticks need to be young and tender otherwise they are too woody and aren't easy to eat.
Very true.
Do you use similar seeds? Fruits can be different, depends on the seed. Some are very tasty, some are not. So you need to preserve and grow the tasty seed to develop the farm.
Yes we only use tasty seeds. +Kendrick

I have a question my moringa tree is turning all yellow looks like it's dying and it's about I say 20 ft tall haven't put nothing on it no fertilizer no nothing just water I don't know what to do
Greetings David, not to worry, but the trees do need some food. The trees like it dry also, could be too much water. The water could be from the city with chemicals, it could also be that the leaves naturally turn yellow, it's best to get more answers from watching several other videos and also join us in the members area for more help. +Kendrick
I wanted to like this video, but your repeatedly stating simple information is a time-waster… I gave up!
That’s quite alright, sometimes people need to hear the same thing over and over. In simple terms, pop the tops for more bushy trees. Thanks for watching and best wishes in growing moringa. +Kendrick
I put my moringa tree in the ground a month ago and it's already "podding". Is it too soon to cut it back because maybe it's still adapting to its new "home".
I cut my trees back within 30days from sprouting, it’s never to soon to eat fresh leaves. +Kendrick
Where specifically is your nursery. How difficult was it to get licensed to grow and sell.?
Howdy, I’m in Plant City Fl. It was not hard at all. Only $30 and nursery license from Fl. On dept. Of Ag website. The inspection is only for shipping trees to California. +Kendrick
Hello..how often should I water them..mine keep dying..they last the longest when I don't ever water them..soon as I do they die
Thank you for asking, water once they are dry. +Kendrick
Good morning. I would like to order a tee from you. I love in California. How may I get in touch with you to order one?
Thanks for calling and ordering your tree, it’s on the way now. For others, see what we have in stock here growmoringa.shop +Kendrick
You forget to say if we must keep the soil moist or wait more dry before watering. I presume that you water the soil and not the leaves? It’s what I did.
In the greenhouse, we're only watering the pots/soil and not the leaves, but when they are in the ground, it's not so much as a problem watering leaves, like nature. +Kendrick
I miss that drumstick! Just saute that with pork, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. You can also cook it with squash, string beans and bitter gourd.
its an amazing mineral rich additive to any meal. So good! thank you. +Kendrick
Do you just cut it and sauté it or is there some type of preparation first?
@@francopp1124 You need to peel off the dark green part then cut into your desired length.

Growing moringa in Mandarin, FL. Get tall quickly. Great tea.
I don’t understand some thing. It looks like none of your trees are bushy…
Funny you noticed, it's the reason for making the video, to walk around and pop the tops and remove flowers so they would become more bushy. Thanks for watching. +Kendrick
I started mine from seeds they are thin and week what can I do to keep it healthy. How often do I water in pot?
Awesome! Do exactly what I mentioned in this video. Trim them! And water when they are dry. +Kendrick
Also do u cut them back in winter or let them die back Naturally
I like to prepare the trees for winter by cutting back prior to frosts. They tend to come back stronger than if left unattended. +Kendrick
I found a tree about 4-5ft tall in a 5gallon pot. Zone 9 Gulf coast of Texas. Should I repot and cut back. Should I plant into ground or wait til Spring? New to this.
It sounds like you have a promising Moringa tree! In Zone 9 along the Gulf Coast of Texas, you're in an ideal region for Moringa to thrive. Here are some suggestions:
Repotting: If your Moringa tree is getting a bit crowded in its 5-gallon pot, it might be a good idea to consider repotting it into a larger container. Make sure the new pot has good drainage. Moringa trees appreciate room for their roots to spread.
Pruning: You can prune the tree, but do it gently. Moringa trees respond well to pruning to encourage bushier growth. However, it's essential not to trim too much at once, especially if it's still relatively young. A light trim is usually sufficient.
Planting in the Ground: If you plan to eventually plant it in the ground, consider doing so in the spring when the soil is warmer. Moringa trees love warm soil, and planting in spring provides them with the best start.
Moringa Love +Marie

My moringa grown from seed died. I have clay soil and live in a cold area.
Awww no! Sometimes that can happen, but digging a big hole and filling it with sandy soil helps, or just grow in a pot in a greenhouse. +Kendrick
Very good information
I kept wondering why my young trees shoot up so fast
😁
Moringa has a naturally occurring hormone that causes the trees to grow super fast called Zeatin. +Kendrick

Africanized bees or just reverting back to a more natural genetic state? We raised bees and didn't do our spring maintenance consistently, going in and killing any queen larvae as recommended and normally done by the pros. The old queen always leaves with a swarm and over the yrs the new queens produced increasingly vicious bees to the point they'd be waiting outside our doors for weeks to attack us after we robbed the honey. African had nothing to do with it just the docile nature of purchased queens became more wild in successive generations.
Reverting back to more of a natural state and as classified by Florida Beekeeping association. Yea that’s what happened with these too.
No one is talking about the snake in the farm🐍
Haha there’s so many now, they are keeping the place rodent free. +Kendrick

How to grow a Moringa tree from cutting branch?
The best way to grow a Moringa tree from a cutting branch is by following these steps:
Select a Healthy Branch: Choose a branch from a mature Moringa tree that is at least one inch in diameter and has several healthy leaves.
Cut the Branch: Use a clean, sharp knife or pruning shears to make a clean cut, ideally at a 45-degree angle. The cutting should be around 3 feet long.
Remove Leaves: Remove most of the leaves from the cutting, leaving only a few at the top. This reduces water loss and encourages root development.
Plant the Cutting: Plant the cutting in a well-draining potting mix or directly in the ground, burying it at least 1-2 feet deep to ensure stability.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Moringa cuttings need proper hydration to establish roots.
Provide Sunlight: Place the cutting in a sunny location, as Moringa trees thrive in full sunlight.
Protect from Wind: Protect the young cutting from strong winds, as they can damage the delicate roots.
Patience: It may take several weeks to months for the cutting to establish roots and begin to grow. Be patient and continue to care for it during this time.
Remember that Moringa trees are hardy and can grow rapidly once established. With proper care, your cutting should develop into a healthy Moringa tree."
THANK YOU MORINGA LOVE! +MARIE
