I ask a villager in Malaysia if I can get a seedling to grow Moringa. He told me just a branch is enough. The cut a finger thick branch about a foot long, and told me to stick it onto the ground. Yup it grew into a tree in my backyard in a couple of months and was soon sprouting pods. Its grow fast.

Yep. That's how I do it too ❤

Bought 2 trees and 3,000 seeds. I never want to be without this tree.

I've been growing Moringa Trees for over 15 years. I love the Moringa trees. They have so many health benefits. I've found that this tree will grow in just about any soil. The best way to grow themis to put the seeds directly in the ground and you will have an 8 to 9 feet tall tree in one year, as long as it gets direct sunlight.

Hehe.. all Filipino knows Moringa tree aka Malunggay 😁. It’s part of our landscape. Food and medicine. It’s a natural antibiotic. I remember when I was young everytime I get a cut my grandmother would scrape the branch outer skin. Squeezed the green juice on my wound to prevent infection 😁

I knew nothing about growing this thing, and it ended up 2 stories high and more than 10feet wide in the branches. Each branch was as thick as 5'' across where I cut them. I've cut it right back about 5 times and each time it grew thicker and taller😅

Great information. I live in north Texas 1 mile from the red river near Wichita Falls. It gets so hot here and yet so cold. I have some seeds I am going to try direct in the soil. Your information stopped me from planting in pots like other vegetables. Thank you so much for the TRUTH. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

Most thorough information on Moringa goes I’ve seen so far. Thank you.

Great information! Thank you. I have a well established Moringa tree in my yard. It gives me so many pods! I live in So Cal😊

I love your videos because you are so honest and down to earth. I feel like you’re a friend I can trust to tell the truth.

This has been THE BEST VIDEO learning about moringa. I have been watching about moringa for hours. You taught me everything I need to know in a short video 😅 thank you!

Best video I've found on growing our Moringas. Thank you!

Thank you. Best information I have heard so far.

Good info to grow Moringa! I learned alot! I'm in San Jose, CA and the first year, I grew 100 seedlings in ground and it died in winter as it gets down to 28F. Luckily some had roots so it surprised me and few grew back. It took a few years before the trunk was stable above ground and now it appears to be stable after six years. Now it's at least 15 ft tall so far, but I want volume,not height. I get good leaves, now need wider canopy and growing for drumsticks! I have two plants in pots from 6 years ago and it is still dies back yearly and isw only 1 foot tall max. Thanks!!!

We use the Moringa for a LIVING FENCE. Also we eat the leaves fresh and dried. Our Philippines farm specializes in MORINGA and we give them away at our tower garden seminars and visitors. Have you tried eating the ROOT? Its also called the HORSERADISH tree. I keep the trees at 8 feet maximum height to make it easy to harvest the leaves

Thank you. I have 4 moringa medium size trees. Use leaves everyday in smoothies and as fertilizer for other crops. Have not gotten and drumsticks yet and that will be exciting. I do cutinngs and stick limbs in the ground. That has worked well. Zone 9a allows all my moringa to come back after frost but will protect them with leaves and straw this year. Thanks.

Thank you. I have grown a couple from stems as well. This is year 2 for me and I now have flowers in 9a and keeping fingers crossed for fruit/drumsticks. That will be fun.

We’ve been eating moringa or we call it “Malunggay” in the Philippines ever since I remember. In fact, we have seeds ready to plant or to sell.

Very helpful, I learnt some new info here.

The moringa pods are also edible, for as long as they arent too old. They are considered delicacy in the Philippined cooked along other vegetables such as eggplant, okra and bittermelon. Also, we nornally plant moringa thru cuttings.

Great job

I bought a moringa tree at a flea market in a gallon pot for eight dollars and I planted it, and it sure did grow. once it seem to have died from the cold and yet another time a tree man sawed it off! 😢But it grew back!😅. I have cut it back many times so it’s only about eight or 10 feet tall and three trunks. I’ve use the leaves many times for tea. I am trying to grow a new tree from one of the stocks of the tree and little green things are coming out of it so I’m glad I got more tips here thank you very much.

Best video I have found on growing moringa! I am in Arizona and I have a moringa tree that I grew indoors from seed, after many failures. It's 17 inches tall and I was planning to transplant outside when it outgrows this new pot. If I do this in this summer heat, will I have to bring it outdoors a little at a time to get acclimated to the heat, or can it go from 78 degrees right out into the 100+ temperatures and sunlight?

EXCELLENT! FINALLY, a concise, informative, well spoken, tutorial on Moringa! thank you. Just one advise astop over using the word GUYS! ITS OVER USED AND YOUR BTTER THEN THAT. THANKS!

You can water from the top. He was just saying to water from the bottom when the seeding doesn’t have a woody stem. That’s when the stem will rot if watered from the top.

Are "winged moringa seeds" more viable than wingless? It seems like they would be fresher and less processed?

Please give me some tips on how to plant mornings. I had trees that grow for a year then dies. I live in Southern California, Los Angeles area. How early is the planting time vs Kate time. Is it ok to plant at early summer time.

It is native here in India and grows like hell year round. ❤

What's the best time of year to prune my Moringa tree . I would like to keep it more like a bush, about 6' tall if possible. And can I root cuttings?

I have tried growing from seeds a couple of times last summer. I kept them wet though. Is any water even necessary for seeds to sprout?

I like your content, but growing the seeds: crack the shell and soak the insides for 12 hrs. Then put on a damp paper towel in an inclosed jar or bag on a heat mat 95 degrees. After root is 1” long, plant the root only in soil with good drainage. Next, prune once 3-4 feet to get more leaves. Good video.

I have 10 seeds from rareseeds... fingers crossed. I'll try in ground.

I planted a dwarf moringa seed last year in a 5 gallon-ish container. It grew so tall so fast, wasn’t expecting it. Now I’m trying to figure out if I can safely transplant into the ground? I’m in the desert and next month will start monsoon season. Great video, thank you.

Moringa does not transplant well

❤

Hi again Alan, from your experience growing Moringa seeds, do you find that they will grow from seeds in the full desert sun and heat? I live in the desert with 120+ degree heat and no humidity. I wish to plant several Moringa trees on the west side of the house. This side has absolutely no protection anywhere from the direct summer sun and heat. I have noticed that my seedlings in 2 liter soda bottles struggle very hard with the full sun. They basically stopped growing and try very hard just to survive and not die. Since I moved them to the covered porch, removed them from the water tray and now give them only morning and late afternoon sun with daily top watering, they are growing once again. The tallest is only about 7", but it is about a month and a half old. Seeing that makes me think that I need to grow them up a bit, then acclimate them to the full sun and then finally transplant them. What are your thoughts and experiences on this? Thank you.

I live I. Zone 8A..if I use heavy mulch,will marina survive the winter?

just planted 3 seeds today and 8 stems of from newly cut 2 old stems to get fresh leaves for cooking and some drying to pulverize it soon..let's if i have this "green thumb" which grows the seeds or stem cuttings

do you water when you plant a seed?

Does the tree of Moringa need much sunlight ? I had to plant them in my garden because we don't have this plant in my country that much and planted some seeds but I'm worried that they will not grow more or may die!!!!

Are electric heat tapes advisable in the dirt around the tree maybe from 3 ft from the roots in winter to keep dirt temps up? And cover the tree if temps are in the teens?

@qctropicals

11 ай бұрын

As long as the soil doesn't freeze, it will come back. Would the heat tape keep it from freezing?

Where do you leave?

Is it the ground freezing that kills the tree in winter?? Could you mulch with a wide circle of deep leaves and other stuff to keep the ground from freezing so bad?? Guess I will find out!! I figured since the root went straight down, it might be possible for it to survive the cold.

@qctropicals

Жыл бұрын

Yes root grows straight down. But if the top dies off, it doesn't matter how deep below ground the roots goes, it will all die off. As long as you keep the soil from freezing, you should be ok.

Can you make a video in Spanish about mango trees.

Does a wall next to a new tree change the height of the tree. I see the umbrella of the tree starting at the top of a wall all the time... So maybe a short plastic wall around the tree will keep the tree short... 🤔 Random questions random questions lol

yes. Most tree will grow leggy to reach the sun, especially if the wall shades the tree too much.
