Craig has an AMAZING yard. a 7000 square foot lot with a 2000 square foot house doesn't give you much dirt to work with... But see what Craig did with just that! His Moringa trees canopy the entire front yard and attracting all sorts of butterflies insects bees and hummingbirds. Phoenix is not just for deserts anymore!

Ok that’s it, I’m sick of the sun beating my yard! I’m going to plant a forest of them like this 😊
daannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngg, your moringa privacy fence is epic
2 years?!! Wow so cool
My ultimate favorite Moringa Tree Show. Thank you Dave Stone! We love you.
+Ruth e You’re welcome! Glad you like it! Thank you!!!
I have been binging on growing videos. Just found your channel. I’m in Arizona and I’m stoked. Thanks for doing what you do.
Kellen Chase how cool! You’re welcome!
Bro me and my wife watch your videos and learned that we can have a forest in PHX so we started with 4 moringa plus 7 other fruit Bering trees and also ordered a load of wood chips to get delivered man thanks for the tips
Wow, those volunteering seedlings are so valuable.......we in GA. here would simply love them....
Wow I love your mini forest. So inspired right now to plant moringga in the ground.
Heck yeah it’s such an amazing tree! Glad you’re inspired!
the sugar cane can be boiled for about an hour and drink it straight or use the water for soup. the skin and leaves can be composted. nice job.
Wow moringa I love this plant very good thanks for sharing
Your pineapple guava, what we call Feijoa in New Zealand, fruit better if they have another variety close by to help pollinate.
I love your garden.
Just make sure you cut it back before a big freeze. AlI my moringa trees froz out last winter here in Chandler Arizona. But they came back this spring.
Is Chandler a different climate than Vegas?
I agree about the wood chips. They are an amazing underrated way to improve almost any garden.
Absolutely!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills Just today I visited my property in Ramona, CA, which receives only 10 inches of rain a year. Seven years ago I planted 50 Quercus agrifolia and Rhus ovata on my property. I put 10 inches of wood chips for a 25-ft radius around each tree. I used about six truck loads of chips. I lost only two out of 50 despite no additional water for the last six years and a lot of drought. I'm a believer in wood chips!
I am waiting for my Moringa seed delivery and live in the Baltic area, so I am trying to learn as much as possible about them. We get hot summers here and I know it’s late in the season but I hope that it all works out well with them. What you have done is amazing and I am learning such a lot. Thank you for posting this.
Awesome.
My daughter in law is from the Philippines and they eat from the Moringa tree, leaves are cooked like any greens & seed pods like cooked potato/squash. I'm in Omaha Nebraska & had great luck growing a lime tree by bringing it in during the winter, so am trying my hand with potted Moringa!
Thank you very much for your videos. I’m learning SO much, and I’m SO excited to start my planting.
Wow...amazing...i'm so jealous...i wish i had the money to have my own house with a cool garden like this!
Oh nice you have Moringa we call it MALUNGAY in the Philippines it is very beneficial to health. It is easy to grow in tropical place than in western place. Malungay leaves drops during winter. The fruit seeds is tasty we cook by steam, eats the meat and seeds as medicine for Diabetes. In our place Moringa is in demand by Pharmaceutical Companies they process it to extract the oil from Moringa to manufacture herbal medicine and its quite expensive.
Anatalia Pesana yes this tree is an amazing one! I️ am obsessed with it lol.
I️ always look foreword to learning more about this miracle tree!
Thanks for sharing!
It must be nice to live where there are real doctor's doing real plant based medicine.
This is amazing
Great video, Dave! Love how Craig's yard looks and agree completely with his growing practices. Always a good thing finding others who share the same love of plants
+Miguel Lopez thanks bro! Yeah Craig’s yard is amazing!
How can one make animol foddr from moringa?
Thank you for sharing this video of this amazing tree.
Great image in start of this video, pitaya & moringa is awesome!!
thank you! yes I have an update coming on Craigs yard :)
David... this is a really awesome vid!!! Very inspiring!
John Joseph Stone thanks Dad!
Exactly! Just like forests work!
Great job with all the great trees you are growing. Thumbs up and Moringa rocks!
+Pepe's Fruit Trees yeah Craig’s yard rocks!
Pepe's Fruit Trees wow pepes fruit tree is here. U twos channel is great
Banana leaves look amazing. Perfect natural food packaging. We use it to wrap rice desserts.
Thank you very much for this video and all the other ones that I've been ping watching.
Wow, well done on your yard! 👍👊
My dream garden! Love it!!!!
+4 Seasons me too!!
I’m going to try a Moringa food forest
This looks awesome thanks for the video I now have an idea of how to do it
That is amazing! Thanks for the share!
+John Carr totally! Craig has an amazing place!
simply!
woooooooow!!!
you killed it!
thank you!
Wow amazing, i would like to grow moringga at my front yard. I have several already at my backyard. Thanks for all the information!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Chinue of course!!! Thanks for watching!
Here in Brazil is very common too have this trees in backyard. Especially Moringa, nin, manga, cajú and goiaba. Excellent video
Lucas Cirne right on ! Thank you!
Nim is common in frontyard here in Brazil - RN, but a have moringa in my frontyard
The right way to do it. The roots are able to establish themselves and avoid the stress when you start from a pot and transplant to the ground.
+Nickey H exactly! I haven’t direct planted in my yard yet but I want to try it too!
Chad nice! Yes both ways can work but I do like direct planting bc we don’t have to disturb them once they start building roots:)
My moringa seeds came in the post yesterday and are soaking right now! I reckon they're gonna be great for my garden here in Sydney.
Dude awesome work on the video Dave! Good Times! Thanks!
I already want another update. Put one on your channel please!!
Wow what a great video good Job Dave!
The H&H Bros thank you!!! So glad you liked it!
Fantastic Food Forest
+Develop Awesome Skills, The pods are a delicacy to Indians and it is hard to get it in U.S. You can really sell the pods and the leaves (as a bunch) to the indian stores or directly to indians living in your area when you pick them young before they get hard. It's priced really good and you should be able to make good money out of it. It's a win-win situation, you get to earn money and the Indians getting access to their favorite vegetable.
I was talking about the Moringa Pods and the leaves which is consumed as a spinach by Indians.
Raja TP i love that idea! And I️ had some fresh Moringa pod curry recently sooooooo delicious!
Thank you for your time
Absolutely!
The best farming of the wold.
So awesome.❤❤❤
mylifeinhongkong Zitro it is an awesome place for sure!!
fantastic work here
Yeah Craig built something amazing in a short amount of time for sure!!!
Great video!! Thank you!
Superb
awesome
Thanks for taking the time for this vid! and give my thanks to Craig for us! Great Forest!
+UNconventional Me of course! Yeah Craig has an awesome forest!
Awesome video really like what you got going there , thanks for for sharing , really enjoyed watching your video . I wonder how this would work in south Texas ?
nice- i have 3 moringas when i move in and starting more about 70 cuttings in ground planted different times about 20 have taken about 200 seeds in pots but i will switch to direct into ground with the seed. growing close together with most trees but will do a few spaced apart to harvest pods. will harvest leaves for people but also for livestock. planning 4000 here and maybe 20,000 on a bigger piece of land i have
Do you have an update?
Dave awesome work thank you for the mini movie
+Frank Sepulveda of course!!! Thank you!
Awesome to see these food forests in our low desert! Keep up the good work. I was surprised to see this because Craig's front yard is very similar to mine. HAHA... way to go to us small lot gardeners! (My property is 7,000 sq ft too)
+Epic Yard Farm yes! How awesome! Someone was just mentioning you in my pdc class this weekend I forget who!
I’d love to come check out your place sometime!
Oh, what coincidence! I just sent you a message through TH-cam with contact info. :-) Looking forward to meeting you!
I love Moringa!! Back in the Philippines, we have lots and lots of Moringas (Malunggay).. and I'm trying to grow them here in Florida now. I love gardening. Your videos are awesome! I love watching all your videos. When will u have a grade tour? It would be nice to see what else are u growing in your yard. :)
Moringa Oleifera! The name is derived from Murangai in (Tamil) and oleifera from Latin because of its Oil in seeds. Just learnt that today 😅. And I’m about to start moringa and bunch of other veggies on my rooftop this monsoon in India. Ur video is an amazing
I would love to plant a row hedge of moringas along a black cast iron fence. How close to the fence and what sort of spacing between plants would you recommend ?
I heard that you can plant them in clusters for leaf harvesting purposes.
Thanks !
bravo
Take out 2-3 top layers. Cut the rest thin & fry with garlic in a few drop of oil. U will love it.
Hello Dave, o had a 15 ft. Moringa tree maybe little talker last year, I chopped it back about to 4 and a half ft tall, just the main branches though. It has a decent size trunk. The other two I have are just a year old, I cut them back too. Just wondering if it will grow back when it gets hot? I was trying to follow you to increase the size. Thank you!
Very nice video, Moringa called as Murungai Maram (in Tamil language), Neem called as (Vepam Maram in Tamil), Curry leaves plants called as (Karivepillai in Tamil), Banana/plantains (Vaazhai Maram in Tamil) are from Tamil Nadu Southern part of India and not from North India. These are grown in every South Indian homes.
Shanthi Raju thank you!! I love Indian trees!!
Looks like a member of the legume family from leaves and pods . Must enrich soil as other legumes.
Look like my home place in Thailand
I really love this yard. I'm trying to replicate in zone 9a but I'm not sure if its ever going to happen.
+Rice Panday well go excessive on wood chips and you’ll have a chance!
Zone 9 is arguably the greatest growing zone. You've got this! I'm 9b and planted 30ish trees this year into horrible soil. Mulch and water. It will grow! Especially moringas
So fun to watch you both, question do you think the trees will grow northern Arizona?
Beautiful video .Thank You for sharing .Where did You get the wood chips? Do the wood chips reduce weeds and insects?
Thanks .
Thank you! Im so glad you enjoyed the video! And the wood chips have so many benefits, check out this episode :) "Wood Chips - The Best Thing To Give Your Garden - Ep198" th-cam.com/video/o-WqQjMmePM/w-d-xo.html
David how deep are the roots and are they invasive into building foundations?
i am curious when wood chips or saw dust decomposes it takes in nitrogen, do you have no problems with that ? because it is on top of soil?? i can maybe get saw dust but no wood chips unless i import a chipper - too costly
Thumbs up!!!!!!!!..you know what?...i think the whole state should be growing marengo....cause it would help millions of people...... starving for real food.....this Guy is doing a great job!!!!
I’m growing my yard so that I can eat and I’m sharing with my neighbors banana 🍌,mango trees 🌳,moringa trees 🌳,lychee trees,Logan tree, papaya trees,coconut trees 🌴,pineapple plants 🪴,tomatoes,vervain,collard greens 🥬,blueberries tree,lemon trees,leaf of life plant 🌱,Turkey berry tree 🌳,Chia tree 🌳, sugarcane and I want a mulberry tree,meen tree,I got to plant my moringa trees, oh my I forgot about my dragon 🐉 fruit and my jackfruit ,soursop trees 🌳 I was so happy to get some seeds so I can grow them I’m so happy 😁 about my front yard, I’m going to get some free mulch from the tree cutters soon because last year mulch gave me so much FRUIT 🍌 last year,I’m over the moon 🌕 with joy 🤩, I recycle and of my trimmings from ALL of my trees 🌳 what a blessing from GOD AMEN 🙏
That’s so amazing!!! I love to hear that!
Thinkinng about coming down to Phoenix, and can we meet for you for my maringa plants?
Can you dig the roots and just lift the plants up and fill in with soil and compost under the plant?
I read that the wood chips should not be buried and left on top of the ground to naturally break down. Buried wood chips break down slowly if at all.
Does the moringa drop leaves in the winter? Where do you get your wood chips? Loofah is pretty tasty when it is young, pumpkin too. We used to make Guatemalan style "tamal's" and yes you wrap them in banana leaf then steam them.
My grandmother used banana leaves instead of waxed paper to make her iron’s underside smooth for ironing.
+Ms YT how cool!!!
We live in Northern part of Alabama once you get the tree growing in pot...It does get cold here in the winter...can plant outside?...or Can't plant outside?
Connie Graves in colder climates you can plant as an annual. Plant in spring, harvest all summer and fall and then it’ll die when freezes start to hit. Then plant again the next year... like a veggie garden.
Or keep in a large pot and bring in over winter... or having a temp controlled greenhouse outside will work too.
Won't work for me to plant outside....suppose to be low 19 tonight
Hey when is your garden tour coming Dave ;-)
stephalicious00 hey!!! I️ just finally released my garden update yesterday!!!
You guys must eat moringa fruits. Here in India it's a prized delicacy. It's more nutritious than the leaves.
Hello, I love your use of the wood chips. What zone do you live in?
I would mulch half of my moringa trees at this point if I had that yard
Hi Dave. I live in Houston, Tx. How much space should I do for Moringa trees? Plant them close or far apart. Also They died when It freezes here. Any suggestion?
+Minh Huệ best time to plant is in spring right after the last frost. However if you plant new seeds now they will grow to a decent size by the time winter hits. Moringas love the summer but if you chip them heavy and feed them and put them on an automatic watering cycle, you will see great returns!
Hey Dave I had a question about the moringa roots. Are the roots invasive if planted next to a sidewalk will it lift the ground. If u can make a video about it this thanks. Hey Dave garden update on the moringas can't wait
+Juan Arcos I’ll def mention that next time... the roots won’t likely crack concrete bc it is a taproot so once they are established they will go deeper more than spread
Hey, it's a fucking tree with tree roots. It's moist under the sidewalk, roots seek moisture. What do you think?
Great question!
+Juan Arcos, Muranghai (Moringa in English) , which is how we call it in my language (tamil) is a soft wood tree and it's roots will not affect any structure, guaranteed. No worries absolutely on that. By the way I'm from Tamilnadu, India and this is our native tree and as far as I'm aware of this the softest tree known on earth. Also, this is not an invasive species, but, is the easiest tree to grow which is an oxymoron. :)
You can eat the moringa root!!
i love your video growing moringa.. how you will you protect moringa during winter?
Evangeline Akabane my winters are very mild... so I protect by planting early in the spring so they get big by winter.. then the strong survive. :)
However if your winter gets really cold or snows, dig out the roots and put them in a pot inside in a dark place over winter and replant in summer... as long as they don’t freeze they should be ok to replant in spring again:)
Develop Awesome Skills love your videos!!
Love it! Love the density. I’m in Northern California so I imagine I would need more spacing because we get less sun and prone to root rot during winter?
Thoughts?
Yeah at least a feet feet more apart maybe, im not sure. Here in AZ Ive found trees definitely appreciate the density growing up when its 120 degrees in June/July lol
Did you try growing them?
I’m in Northern Cal also and have heard they don’t like when the coldest days of winter come. Curious if they can be wrapped or protected somehow.
question did you plant that dragon fruit next to the moringa so it would grow up it, or was it a volunteer? I bought one and am wondering if i need to plant it next to my morings and when can I do the planting. I am east of Tucson in Sahuarita, AZ Thank you do you have an email I can use to contact you directly?
I live in South eastern WA - is my climate too cold for Moringa?
Will be going through town where can i get some freash leaves??????
I have always heard that wood chips would encourage bug infestation, like roaches, which draws in scorpions in the Phoenix area. Any problems with that??
Maybe an ecosystem. Arthropods eat bugs drawn to moisture and nutrients. Wasps eat scorpions....as David Byrne once wrote "It all works out.".
I have 9 moringas growing indoors right now in august… I might try and grow one outside before winter but I’m afraid it won’t survive because it’s so late in the year. Next year I’ll have my backyard forest going😎 (growing in Las Vegas). Is anyone growing these in Utah? I know people are growing these in snow and they just keep growing back.
dave moringa great job man can't see your house lol genius
+Frank Sepulveda lol!!!
I wonder how many gallons of water are used yearly..
I really liked your Moringa " FOREST".
May I , please ask one thing,
Do you have honey from these Moringa flowers?
Need more sun for fruit. So, I’m learning. 😊
Would like to get wood chips but I live in HOA neighborhood and probably can't get some dropped in my driveway. What do you recommend? Should I just Haul then wheel barrow it into my backyard?
+Zane (Ragin_Pacifist) yeah that’s a tough one.
If you get them dumped in driveway you will have to clear them out that day prob... if you can’t get them delivered maybe try a truckbed if mulch from Arizona worm farm?
Develop Awesome Skills sounds like a great alternative I suppose. Would probably be better quality too
how often do you water moringa when it's new?
What type of bananas was Craig growing in his yard. So many kinds, how do you chose? Thanks from Zone 10b.
lacatan & dwarf orinoco
I figured out after about 3 video's who you remind me of and that's phil dunphy or ty burrell from modern family .
Did you pla NV t that dragon fruit to grow up the moringa. I just got dr tree and wondering if I should plant it next to my shriveled moringa tree.
Craig did plant the dragon fruit so it would climb up the moringa! And it worked great for him!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills wondering if it is ok to plant my dragon tree now or wait. Love this site.
That Pod Maniac Moringa at 30:30 was the highlight of this whole video, and I really loved the whole video. I want some of those seeds. Can you put an address under the video?
Do they freeze to the ground during winter ? How are your tree doing right now?
Bertha Perales we have had a very mild winter again this year
What's the name of the 15' tree by the jujube? I don't think the name was stated in the video.
+ballistica oh sorry!!! That’s the rainbow eucalyptus!!!
