- You can grow moringa from seeds and you can grow moringa from cuttings. Today I do both.

I like the gardening tips, but I stay for the music. As for the "thumbs down", it must be due to some kind of defect. Who doesn't like Moringa propagation info, followed by a snappy melody?
I even had it sung by cartoon animals!
I'm now convinced there's some whacked out vegan who gets a kick out of giving every one of my videos a thumbs down.
David The Good people are sad.
Oh god there's two now, call the FED
Are the seeds edible?
They are but they have a taste that not everyone can agree with; people usually will dry out the leaves and grind them to a power to add to drinks, food, or take as is. It's got boat-loads of good stuff in it.
Or a bicycle rider hehe.
I grew up eating those! I remember my mom added the young pods cut up and mixed into stews or soup
Carlee Amper If you don't mind me asking, where was that?
Thank you so much for demonstrating how to grow moringa from seeds as well as from cuttings. I'll be trying to grow my own trees soon👍
Love those tunes at the end man.. and the moringa knowledge too
Thank you.
I've been watching your videos for a while and I haven't come across what country you're in now.? I grew up gardening in WI, struggled with it in FL, and am now doing pretty well with it in TN. But.. Changing zones can be a real fun challenge. Love your videos!
Shared mate, Moringa is King, and or Queen :)
Thank you.
Moringa is very hardy. Ours have through he'll and still come back. We are getting ready to transplant ours. Thanks for the info, we will now try to place them near our garden and in our soon to be orchard.
I tried growing these from seed during the winter and even zone 10 All rotten. Going to try again in a few weeks. I heard these moringa can double breast milk production.
You need to plant 2 feet inside the soil. Only a small tip must be left above ground. Then the roots will be a lot stronger
David, purchased 4 of your books-love them.
Question: I am in N. Florida and had planted two Moringa trees. They made it through one winter, but this winter was brutal and they froze. How close to the ground do I need to cut my new trees to over winter them? Thanks.
Taller is better. I cut mine at about 3' so I could wrap them in wire and straw to protect them. If I could have gone taller easily, I would have. More trunk = faster regrowth and more leaves the next year, in my experience.
Nice shirt, David!
Thanks. Original supporter!
Just started a bunch of seeds and three cuttings. The cuttings had leaves after less than a week in the ground. The seedlings are 4-5 inches high in 5 days from planting.
Now to figure out how/where to plant them to get the goats to not kill them before they can get established.
Can we get an update?
got one growing in a pot - wish I could leave it out all year - zone 7/8
good luck
if you can get seed from it and constantly grow the seeds and keep the ones that the cold wont kill- breed THOSE together- in a few years (like 7) you may have yourself a Moringa variety designed for your climate XD
didn't get seeds last year - good idea - thank you
I beg to differ on the account of growing over-a-year-old Moringa Seeds; I have 3 varieties of Moringa and the hard-nut varieties (I think you've got one) seem to keep longer in an airtight storage. I've held onto old seed I got from some North FL farmers, and here 2 years alter I still sprouted those seeds this year. I even accidentally proved it to myself whenIi stepped on a stray 2y/o seed and the meat inside was still white and plump like it had just been freshly-stored. I guess it's a matter of humidity, temp, wtc.
That's good to know. I had mine quit at around a year and had to buy more. They might have been old when I got them, though.
I ordered moringa seeds 2 months ago and they never showed, so, I ordered some more and they should be here 2 months from now. Hopefully, I will get them, get them growing before winter arrives.
Im having alot of trouble getting my seeds to sprout. You answered two of the reasons they might not be sprouting. I bought a thousand off of amazon, but who knows how old they are. Its also been unseasonably cool in Texas this year.
They really don't like it cold.
I got my seeds in the spring of one year planted some and then refrigerated them in my crisper. I have sense replanted (one year later) them this spring and they seem to be doing well. So maybe if you store them properly they will last longer and still be viable.
Refrigeration was a good idea.
Did you store them in the crisper dry or damp? (paper towel, soil, peat?)
Nope I just put them in a ziplock bag closed the door and forgot about them.
Thank You, Thank you very much.
I'm looking to propagate some cuttings because my moringa never produces seed pods. It has produced flowers though.
I just watched your video, because a friend is wanting a clipping from my Moringa tree. Did you ever post the results of planting that branch versus the seeds? I’d like a link to it if you wouldn’t mind sharing it!
The dry season got so dry it killed them both; however, I have done enough side by side to be convinced that seeds are better. Branches are good for living fence posts, though.
Would Moringa work in a micro climate zone as far as being able to keep it contained and still furnish plant material? The Moringa seed that I planted years ago did not survive.
Yes. They grow very fast from seed. You can even grow them as annuals.
Hey David, is Moringa a Nitrogen fixer (legume)? We have a plant in Australia (introduced) that has a similar leaf pattern and seed that was planted on cattle paddocks as a natural fodder. Problem is, like the paperbark (I think) that was introduced from Australia to Florida, it grows too well over here. It's everywhere! EDIT: No, different plant. The one I'm thinking of has a pod. I know the name, and I'll probably edit again later when it comes to me.
Thanks Joseph. I'm still trying to remember the name of this plant here. It's on the tip of my tongue. OH YES! Leucaena! Hre's a link: www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/farms-fishing-forestry/agriculture/land-management/health-pests-weeds-diseases/weeds-diseases/invasive-plants/other/leucaena
Yeah, leucaena is a really good nitrogen fixer.
Yep, and a good food source for cattle and sheep, but they spread like wildfire here. Oh, and thanks for the videos, David. I moved from the tropics of Far North Queensland (Florida [edit: Jamaica] type weather I think) down to the Capital City, Brisbane; more of a subtropical to temperate zone. I'll be here for a few more years before I head back up to the land of the gods.
you didnt show an update on them eie they grow
Can you eat the seeds?
Yes, but they have a very bitter, stinging flavor. And they hurt your stomach. However, Jamaicans swear by eating them for their health.
David The Good what do you usually add moringa to in your dishes?
Btw i love your channel your approach to gardening is extremely inspiring and how you go against traditonal methods of gardening doing your own thing!
Any idea if how to save moringa planted in ground in winter?
Yes: www.thesurvivalgardener.com/how-to-protect-moringa-trees-from-fros/
@@davidthegood thank you
Wish I can have some seeds to plant. I like Moringa . I bought Moringa from Vietnamese market. But they did not grow up. They die all . maybe because the stems are too young for planting.
Probably. You could buy seeds online.
@@davidthegood I just found a web of Vietnamese , she sells Asian seeds.....I can't wait to have my seeds and plant them from now.....I am trying to plant some thing in cold weather.....I live in Texas, very hot in summer and very cold ( under 30 F is maximum ) in winter. I did buy online, I am not lucky, the seeds from Ebay did not grow....Thanks for replying to me.
David please send me a few f those seed, I cannot find them anywhere.
They wouldn't make it through - packages are opened internationally unless you have proper permits.
I got a thousand off of Amazon for 15$
Just order them on Amazon real cheap thats what I did
Hey body this is not true. this year I sowed 3-year-old moringa seeds and they all germinated
That is good to hear. How did you store them? Mine were dead in a year inside my house in Florida.
