Thanks for sharing the idea of a moringa fence. I watched this from New Zealand. Auckland. I planted seven seeds in pods three years ago, five came out as little plant. I put them under the roof facing the sun in winter. the first year, all the stems disappeared, two of them regenerated the next year. the rest did not show up. I now have two of them, I cut them into about 1.5 meter tall and put them in my greenhouse. Your fence idea inspired me to grow more of them but how can I be sure that some of them will survive the winter here if I plant them directly into the ground?( about 1 or 2 degree C in July.)
Moringa trees don't really like cold weather. I've heard some people during the cold weather, cut them back and putting a wire fence around them and fill it with straw, to try and keep them warmer during the cold weather. It doesn't get cold enough where I live in Mesa, Arizona to worry about the weather.
San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. I've been growing one moringa for about three years now. It's only 3feet tall, but supplies me with lots of leaves. I'm going to try that make-a-fence concept; it'll be my project for this Spring.
@johnzx14rk94 I know what you mean, there's a lot of clay and rocks in my area also. I dig the hole a little and then put water in and let it soak in overnight and then dig some more. I put a foot of wood chips (you can get wood chips free from tree trimming companies) in every year and better soil is building up gradually.
@@johnzx14rk94 Hi John, I live in San Antonio, Texas. They should do fine in the clay and rock. One thing I've noticed is that if you cut them down to the ground level right before the first freeze, they'll have a much higher survival rate when coming back the next year. They'll peak out of the ground around April/May each year, but then zoom to be about 15-20 feet tall by October.
What zone are you in? I had one I planted in ground cut to 3 ft tall and stuck a big 3’ wide tomatoe cage stuffed with leaves for insulation. Zone 8- but got down to about 15 degrees for two nights. Came back but then the branches were so slow to grow and eventually just died altogether. Will try cutting down to ground I guess….any other tips? I really don’t want to just grow in pot.
Thanks for watching. I'm in zone 9b, so it doesn't get too cold for them in my area. Moringa trees don't like cold weather. They are such fast growing trees, growing in containers doesn't work very well. Cutting them back and putting the cage around them, like you did, is the best way to try and get them through the winter in colder areas, because they don't like colder weather.
You will enjoy having a Moringa tree. I've been growing Moringa trees for over 15 years. Since I've been eating the leaves, flowers, and pods, of the Moringa trees I have been a lot healthier.
I've been growing Moringa for around 16 years. I love how fast they grow. Thanks for watching the video and letting me know where you're watching from.
@@edibletropicaltrees yes I see. How deep should the pot be minimum, I was learning about their tap root and I’m new. Sorry if this is a boneheaded question lol, I don’t need it large just happy.
@@AdventureSquadOverland The deeper the pot you can get, the taller the trees will grow. They do have a tap root and the depth of the tap root will control how tall the tree will get. But even a small tree will give you some of the nutritious leaves of the tree to eat.
Yes, you can eat the leaves, the flowers, the pods, and the roots of the Moringa tree. Christian groups planted millions of Moringa Trees all over Africa and they has saved lots of peoples lives.
I'm in Arkansas. I bought some Moringa seeds off of eBay a couple of years ago. I have started them in wet paper towels left them in a Ziploc bagie for a few days. Then planted the sprouts in solo cups, transferred to 3 gallon pots after they were growing good. I now have 8 I started this spring and they are outside doing very well. I live in a climate that gets cold in winter so haven't tried to keep them alive in winter. I have built a green house using cattle panels now and plan to try to keep them in there through the winter. Thanks for sharing your information with us. It's a journey not a destination.
Just moved from Los Angeles to Nebraska.
Thank you for the reminder to sprout more of these seeds!
Thanks for watching. I have 20 Moringa trees growing at my house.
@@edibletropicaltrees I hope to catch up to you one day!
Great informative video Mel, watching from City of Brisbane which is in the State of Queensland in Australia
Thanks for watching and giving your location.

Fellow mesa zoni, the fence idea is pretty cool. I might have to do that to finally give some afternoon shade to my front yard
Thanks for your comment. We all learn from each other.
Watching from Spring Texas
Thanks for watching and sharing your location.

That's strange that it's only 3 feet tall, they usually grow tall and fast.
Probably because it's in a pot. It is in no way disappointing though.
Thank You Good Sir. Temple, Texas. I just got 20 moringa trees 🌳 I am super excited. Thanks for your informative video Sir.
Thanks for watching. Moringa trees are so nutritional. I've been growing them for over 15 years.
@@edibletropicaltrees A lot of clay and rock here in this area. I'm concerned about how tall they will get. I've dug holes that are about 36" deep.

Watching from Malaysia. Just planted my Moringa and also made a YT video of it 😊

Thankyou for sharing !!
Thanks for watching. Glad you like it.
Watching from Southern Spain.I have a few moringa in pots ,love 'em.
I've been growing Moringa for around 16 years. I love how fast they grow. Thanks for watching the video and letting me know where you're watching from.
@@edibletropicaltreeswhat size dimensions for a good pot? Or how tall?
@AdventureSquadOverland In pots not sure how tall they will get. In ground they get 8 to 9 feet tall in one year.
@@edibletropicaltrees yes I see. How deep should the pot be minimum, I was learning about their tap root and I’m new. Sorry if this is a boneheaded question lol, I don’t need it large just happy.

Are not the root invasive? It's really close to your driveway
The roots have a main tap root. I've grown them 3 feet from my house with no problems. I've been growing them for over 15 years.
@@edibletropicaltreesDid not know that! Thank you!
Great video Can you make an update video
Yes, when the tree grows more, I will do an update video.
Nice where’s your location 🌳🌳🌿🌳
