    I've been growing them in south Alabama which is not quite as tropical as central Florida (where this video was filmed). I've discovered some tips that might help people who are growing them outside a tropical area.
    In the winter they go dormant. They can tolerate light frosts where it barely dips below freezing for short periods. While dormant, they are extremely vulnerable to waterlogged soil. The roots will rot and turn to mush if they stay wet while dormant. We get heavy rains here in the winter and maybe a third to half of my moringa trees that are planted in the ground die from that because our soil here doesn't drain well. If they survive the first year's winter, they are likely to survive the second, third, etc. It's best to have them in well drained soil. It's a lot of work, but if you dig a hole and replace it with a mixture of potting mix and perlite, you'll end up with a soil that drains very well. It'll make a much more vigorous tree.
    A moringa tree planted in poorly drained soil may take several years to establish itself well enough to grow large each year.
    The roots are sometimes very slow to come out of dormancy. Some moringas may come out in April while others don't come out until July. And some seem to get stuck permanently in dormancy and die. I think soil temperature is key. Even when the air is hot, the soil can be cool and as a tropical plant I suspect the moringa likes warm soil. Putting rocks or bricks near the base of the tree might help heat the soil and accelerate the tree coming out of dormancy. I've tried this and it SEEMS like it MIGHT work, but it's hard to tell.
    One winterizing trick I've discovered is to pile mulch high enough around them to protect some of the trunk. This mulch has to be really deep. Do this BEFORE it starts getting close to freezing for the best results. You'll likely need to cut your tree much shorter than it currently is in order to get the cage in place and you don't want to do that during near freezing weather if you can help it as the tree might not be able to heal before going dormant.
    I have built cylindrical cages from chicken wire, staked them in place around the trunk of the tree, then piled the cage high with pine straw. Make sure that the trunk is near the center of the pine straw. Use a good quality chicken wire or perhaps some other type of fencing. You don't want it flopping all over the place in the wind. It needs to be staked in place for that reason. Make the cylinder at least a foot and a half in diameter. I'd recommend two feet (or more if you have enough pinestraw). In the spring, when all danger of frost is gone, uncover the still living trunk. Sunlight hitting the living moringa trunk will bring it out of dormancy earlier than normal and provide it with a much longer growing season. You may get seed pods if your trees get enough of a headstart in the spring. The larger trunk you tend to get out of this is conducive to branching, making a bushier tree, rather than a tall, spindly tree. If the tree has to come up from the roots every year, it's not going to be as big or vigorous as a tree with a preserved section of trunk.
    I plant seeds indoors in pots in mid-winter. Any moringa that died over the winter get replaced by these little trees.
    I also grow some of my best moringas in 18 gallon containers. If you're doing this on the cheap, buy those $5 tubs from Walmart. The black ones are the most resistant to UV light. They'll last a few years, but eventually sunlight will destroy them. I drill holes roughly a third of the way up the side of the tubs (measured from the bottom) for drainage. This creates a reservoir below the holes and allows good drainage above. A more expensive but durable option is plastic cattle troughs. Really if you're going to that much trouble you might as well excavate a hole and fill it with your own soil mixture and grow them in the ground. Cattle troughs are pricey.
    I like to dry the leaves on low heat in the oven and then put them trough a coffee grinder to powder them. Store the powder in a dark, preferably cool place to maintain certain nutrients.

      Biggest mistake with Moringa is too much water! Also exposing them to too cold of temperature. They can grow in very poor soil, we provide great soil with a little from our compost pile. Our biggest one about 6 feet bloomed again this year and produced tiny pods but they died off, so Oregon is not the place to get pods with the seeds, but the leaves are a great snack as your walking around the garden in the Summer.

    I have two just started a year ago in my yard (Southern California) and we have harvested once already! It was delicious in chicken tenola. The extra leaves, my wife freezed it. I had problems getting the branches started early on but removing all the blooms solved my problem. Now I'm ready to harvest again before the cold snap in winter. In our Cebu dialect we call it Kamunggay! Some folks back home stick branches of Kamunggay close together in a line and Before you know it -- you have a beautiful living fence!

I tried this for 2 years in a row. Then I thought maybe the seeds were bad. So I bought 5 seeds from someone on eBay and they have all sprouted and seem to be looking much better than the other batch. Just transplanted on into a larger pot.. So they must radiate or do something to some of the seeds sold to eat so you can't grow your own.
