Over here in Malaysia, we can get the moringa fruit from the market. Locally, it is called buah kelor. The fruit is cut into three-inch pieces and cooked in curry with coconut milk. Such curry is absolutely delicious (at least, for us in Malaysia). I am unaware of the health benefits of moringa until recently. I am delighted that something so common place is now being lauded for its health benefits.
Oh yes! That was the case here as well, until I started planting moringa in Tampa and St. Pete, now we have over 300 properties growing moringa with members from all over the world. Malunggay is the Philippines most popular tree. +Kendrick
My neighbor said " there is a moringa tree" across from the driveway. Didn't have a clue. But wow , what a gift. 3 bushy plants from getting chopped back last year. Loving all I can do with it.

Thank you I recently cut a long thin moringa about a year old. It’s starting to grow another growth. I think I need to change the soil so it drains better. Should I feed it plant food also
Thank you for your advice. I put mine, which was 7 ft. tall but was going straight up- in the ground & cut it like you have it. Hopefully it will begin to grow & I will have more branches. Greetings from you in Lakeland.

This is the most helpful video about moringa, thank you! I just started growing it in Mexico, your tip about too much sun was key 👌 Could I trouble you for tips on watering? Thanks again, and your farm looks amazing!
I enjoyed your presentation very much, love your passion. You can not go wrong with that, wishing you a well deserved success in growing your beautiful Moringa nursery. 😊
I want to grow mine tall to shade my enclosed porch. I practically live out there with all the wildlife outside the screen. But we had to remove 2 huge sweetgum for safety reasons and now it's too hot. We are also surrounded with live oak. That keeps it warmer in the yard. I could drive to the end of our road and everything is covered with frost. I also planted silverthorn to block hurricane winds. Thinking ahead.
Hi Kendrick, Just stumbled onto your video! I LOVED the plants I got from you this past summer! I had eight trees three in pots and rest in the ground. I loved cooking my Moringa leaves all summer long. Unfortunately, I don’t have space to grow them indoors and they have all succumbed to the frost. I’ll be ordering new plants again in the spring. Thank you for everything you do with/for Moringa!!
Thanks for the video. I’ve got three or four moringa‘s that are long and skinny about 10 feet tall with just a little bit of foliage right at the top. They don’t really do much and I was curious as to how to get them to produce more leaves drumsticks etc.
Scientists have confirmed that plants in nature do communicate with each other and even share nutrients and water with weaker ones that aren`t doing as well. I grew up on a five acre very busy farm in Louisiana and have decided to grow some exotic plant varieties we never planted mainly as nutrient/protein dense prepping foods. I`m moving soon and I imagine my yard and home will eventually become a plants freak show. So I`m ordering tons of different types of heirloom seeds and plants and have gotten grow lights, a greenhouse, and seven indoor tabletop hydroponic gardens so I can have lettuce and herbs all year and over-winter things like peppers. My poor bees died. They were always very friendly. Now we have the Africanized bees in the area and I saw one serious attack and decided not to get another hive. Dealing with yellowjackets here is bad as it is. I don`t want honeybees attacking me too. We have a very mean dark colored wild honeybee here, I believe a tough Russian breed the old beekeepers used to raise, but new forms of beekeeping with calmer Italian bees made them stop messing with the mean ones.
Do you harvest the pods Green or wait until they are brown and starting to split to use for oil or planting. Greeting from Australia. We have 28 trees and are planting over 40 more.
My family grows trees of our own snd to trim ours we call it time to pick snd pop time each of use go out pick a plant then pick snd pop lol pick snd pop it our mouth chew it up
I venture to say that it's not just moringa trees that would do better in partial shade. These past few years have been very hot and damaging to plants in geographical areas that have not had these problems before. I live in Florida, in Gulfport, and this past summer has been brutal. The plants that got partial shade from the trees (in pots and out of pots) did ever so much better than those that didn't. I believe that due to the sun's changes and our shifting planet, our growing methods have to change or we will continue to lose food and ornamental crops. The big growers are going to have some challenges, as provisions for shade and moisture in hard times are going to be expensive and require re-thinking how we grow things. Covering the soil with organic mulch and plastic "mulch" may be needed. I have two moringa trees. I have yet to eat any leaves from them, as they are both still young. One got broken off, and I made cuttings and planted them next to the mother plant. I hope they set roots. The mother plant is already making side shoots. Thank you for your very good video.
There is an arizona gardener that puts all his trees in full sun and they are fine. I do believe that shading his trees would have even better results. My experience is similar to yours in that my slightly shaded trees are growing thicker and faster than those in full.
@@joselopez-he1mc Mine survived it's first full summer in Phoenix this year it was crazy hot and dry and it was in full sun. Turned a little brown for a few weeks but it looks great now! I took the seeds from the springtime and now have 4 more sprouts about 6" tall already
this is my first year growing moringa. were planting seeds. Im gonna trial some under thick mulch and see if they survive our sequatchie valley winter.
@@GrowMoringa I now have probably 50 moringa trees growing on my kitchen table. My germination experiment went TOO well. No idea what we are gonna do with so many moringa trees since its still cold here LOL.
Thanks for the info. I also wonder if my moringa is not bushing as I planted near big trees ... Love your enthusiasm and the project. And wow, the artwork in the car is great too!
I live in Phoenix AZ. I have tried on four different occasions to grow a Moringa tree. They have all died at the soil level. They get a dent, or divot in their trunk and they just fall over. Someone told me it is inconsistent watering. How much water should a little 6-8” tree get? Our sun is brutally hot, so I have them in mostly shade, and water a little each evening.
Thank you. I'm so happy I found this video. I am growing 2 MORINGA trees from seed. One is about 6 inches tall the other is about 3 inches tall. I am growing them inside in pots at my kitchen window. I do not plan on putting them outside as Im in a tiny condo (no patio or yard). ❓❓❓ Will this process also help me keep them small as well as bushy? Any recommendations for indoor growing?
Yes absolutely, I have a free moringa manual that talks about balcony indoor growing at growmoringa.com 1)feed with BioStimulant liquid soil amendment at my shop, it’s made from moringa leaves and moringa trees also love it to grow well, 2) keep a fan on it helps to keep the soil dry on top to avoid pests and keeps the stem sturdy and strong like it would be outside. +Kendrick
Hi Kendrick how about the moringa seed benefits. Are they healthy to eat as well? Im a South African Indian. We grew up eating these drumsticks and the leaves. Had no idea until recently of its great benefits.
Hi, I’m in Clearwater FL and have a bunch of stick cuttings from my big happy trees that are growing well. However, I grouped several sticks, like 7-10, together in 2 gal buckets and I’m wondering at what point should I separate them? It’s been almost a month and they all have healthy new growth coming in. Honestly I didn’t expect them all to take but they did and I know they’ll need more space but don’t want to stress new roots too soon. Any advice is much appreciated!
Wonderful! You could leave them for the winter and split them out once they have bigger roots in spring. Or just pull one out now and see if it takes in a new pot. Experiment and have fun. Thanks for watching. +Kendrick
I miss that drumstick! Just saute that with pork, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. You can also cook it with squash, string beans and bitter gourd.
I’ve just started my first Moringa Tree in a large Flower pot and I know I’m going to have to trim it to keep it in side my house when the weather starts getting colder. I’m in the Eastern side of the Western shore Dundalk, Maryland 21222 and I want to keep it short and bushy. Should I take the upper limbs off and keep the main trunk going? I’ll try to send you a picture of my Moringa Plant.
You do know that you can always get seeds for practically pennies and grow another next year. And if you’re needing Moringa you can find some Good already powdered from a guy in Florida also Check out RUclips.be/9Q4Y-EIOoYM For all kinds of Natural Moringa seeds and Powder.✅
I’m in zone 10a, Southern California. My moringa tree is currently in a pot. It’s about 7-8 feet tall. It has green leaves and some flowers. When can I cut it down and transplant it into the ground? What should I be doing? I’m new to growing a moringa tree. 12/15/23
Wonderful! You're doing great so far, I like that you know to trim back and transplant at the same time. There's no better time than now, I think that's the saying. She'll do great. +Kendrick
I’m in 9 B zone in San Diego ca. my tree is planted in a huge tire tractor for its roots to grow. My Miranga tree lost all its leaves. It’s over 8ft tall. It looks dormant. Will the leaves grow back and become big and bushy? How do I get this Moranga tree Bushy. I cut it back once and it was still sparse in leaves. What can I do to get a bushy healthy tree
Wonderful! Cutting it back is good, the tire could be helping..or, it could be also heating up too much because that tire can be hot, but the earth is actually cool, just under the surface, but the tire could be heating up the surrounding surface levels. Does nature use tires? nature usually uses mulch, good soil and compost. You may want to dig her out of the tire, dig a hole and fill with good soil, and cover the surrounding area with mulch of some kind. I've only grown in florida and we have oak trees everywhere. Mulch is abundant. She could also use some FOOD! feed her some of my organic fertilizer, we make it from moringa leaves. Its USDA organic and helps with all plants, especially moringa. Grab your BIOBOX here to make her grow BIG. growmoringa.shop/products/biobox Thanks! +Kendrick
Great video, Thank You! We live in Molino FL, 20 miles from Pensacola. This year started a few moringas from seeds. I planted out some. But if I want to have some In pots in the first year. What size pot are You recommend?

Thanks your information! I’m in AZ (mountain area) Can you tell me where you are ? Thank you! We still cold the nighttime, so I can’t grow in the ground now. Maybe April is best time.
Have 6 trees planted here in Arkansas, hope they survive the winter. Cut them back, covered with tubs and mulched around the bottoms. Do you think i should cover the whole tubs with mulch? Also planted the cuttings, they all sprouted, but now are not looking as good
Hi there! It sounds like you've taken some great steps to protect your moringa trees for the winter. Covering the whole tubs with mulch can provide additional insulation, especially if you're expecting harsh winter conditions. As for the cuttings, they might need a bit of extra care. Ensure they're not overwatered, and consider placing them in a sheltered area. Gardening can be a bit of an experiment, so keep a close eye on them, and hopefully, they'll bounce back. Best of luck with your moringa trees in Arkansas! Shop now here at growmoringa.shop Moringa Love +Marie
Hi My tree doesn't grow much; produces some flowers and few starts growing baby drum sticks and after a wk they 1 wk old drum stick drops off. What should I do?
I found a tree about 4-5ft tall in a 5gallon pot. Zone 9 Gulf coast of Texas. Should I repot and cut back. Should I plant into ground or wait til Spring? New to this.
It sounds like you have a promising Moringa tree! In Zone 9 along the Gulf Coast of Texas, you're in an ideal region for Moringa to thrive. Here are some suggestions: Repotting: If your Moringa tree is getting a bit crowded in its 5-gallon pot, it might be a good idea to consider repotting it into a larger container. Make sure the new pot has good drainage. Moringa trees appreciate room for their roots to spread. Pruning: You can prune the tree, but do it gently. Moringa trees respond well to pruning to encourage bushier growth. However, it's essential not to trim too much at once, especially if it's still relatively young. A light trim is usually sufficient. Planting in the Ground: If you plan to eventually plant it in the ground, consider doing so in the spring when the soil is warmer. Moringa trees love warm soil, and planting in spring provides them with the best start. Moringa Love +Marie
Do you need bees to pollinate the flowers to make the seed pods. Currently mine are in the Lani. We have iguanas that love to eat them. Can you root in water? loved your video.
Dwarf morninga a real thing? Will seeds be dwarf seeds... Or back to original tree I found a tree and the seeds were mini vs other Moringa seeds. Maybe just smaller batch
Haha! I like how you associate dwarf tree with a mini seed, those were most likely from an immature drumstick. Yes there is a dwarf variety and yes, it could revert back to original, there are mutations. +Kendrick
I put my moringa tree in the ground a month ago and it's already "podding". Is it too soon to cut it back because maybe it's still adapting to its new "home".
I don’t own a home so I have keep a lot of my plants in pots. I know they have a tap root system so I heard I can’t keep them in a tall pot forever. Should I just give it away now then :( it’s skinny and just one tall trunk.
If they are in pots, pull them out each year, cut the roots a little and put it back in the pot with new soil. Keep Moringa’s in a pot no problem. +Kendrick

Greetings David, not to worry, but the trees do need some food. The trees like it dry also, could be too much water.

Hi sir. Just watched your video and very informative. I have newly grown moringa from seeds. Its 3weeks old and having 6-8leaves . They’re growing pretty good actually. And my question is, is it okay to prune my moringa this early as 3weeks old? Hope you can help me about it. Thank you so much
Greetings, great question! If you harvest above the first leaf, it will re-sprout from the first leaf, if you harvest below the first leaf, it will re-sprout from the root.

I found this extremely helpful. I live in mobile AL and I have tried growing moringa and at a certain stage, 5 to 6 inches, they stall out and lose all their leaves. I’ll try cutting them back a bit and see if that doesn’t get them to grow new leaves. I did have one 4 feet tall in a pot and in a couple of days it just up and died. I have no idea why. I did plant it outside after it dropped all its leaves. I don’t know if it will come back. I’ve been using potting mix for soil. Not sure what the best soil to use. People say mulchy and loose soil. We have sandy, clay here. I add mulch in the ground when planting in the ground. Is that ok to do?
I'm in AZ growing Moringa, drying leaves, grind it into powder and having it daily! Feeling better every day! Thank you for sharing!

Great video I just planted seeds this past Tuesday just started
Nice 👍thank you. +Kendrick
I've got 4 seeds growing now! They sprouted so fast! 🌱🌱🌱🌱
That's great! they'll provide lots of abundance and food. The fastest growing tree in the world is at your service. +Kendrick
I've got two growing in pots from seeds, I'm in Queensland, Australia
About 2 ft high, can't wait for flowers.
Great advice! Thank you so much!
Thank You for your unending support! Moringa Love +MARIE
I want to grow mine tall to shade my enclosed porch.
I practically live out there with all the wildlife outside the screen. But we had to remove 2 huge sweetgum for safety reasons and now it's too hot.
We are also surrounded with live oak. That keeps it warmer in the yard. I could drive to the end of our road and everything is covered with frost. I also planted silverthorn to block hurricane winds. Thinking ahead.
They grow nice and tall for shading in the summer. +Kendrick
Hi Kendrick, Just stumbled onto your video! I LOVED the plants I got from you this past summer! I had eight trees three in pots and rest in the ground. I loved cooking my Moringa leaves all summer long. Unfortunately, I don’t have space to grow them indoors and they have all succumbed to the frost. I’ll be ordering new plants again in the spring. Thank you for everything you do with/for Moringa!!
Thank you very much Logi, glad you found me. Looking forward to hearing more about your project. +Kendrick
Just got three trees yesterday from Texas! Hitting triple digits this week 112f this week.
Yea super hot, keep then watered until established they should grow great now in the heat. +Kendrick
Thanks for the video. I’ve got three or four moringa‘s that are long and skinny about 10 feet tall with just a little bit of foliage right at the top. They don’t really do much and I was curious as to how to get them to produce more leaves drumsticks etc.
Wonderful, yes cut them back regularly for more greens. Download The free moringa manual now available at growmoringa.com
I'm a Moringa fan in Orlando. Maybe I'll check you guys out.
Hey, yea come by on Saturdays from 10-2 in Plant city.
Scientists have confirmed that plants in nature do communicate with each other and even share nutrients and water with weaker ones that aren`t doing as well. I grew up on a five acre very busy farm in Louisiana and have decided to grow some exotic plant varieties we never planted mainly as nutrient/protein dense prepping foods. I`m moving soon and I imagine my yard and home will eventually become a plants freak show. So I`m ordering tons of different types of heirloom seeds and plants and have gotten grow lights, a greenhouse, and seven indoor tabletop hydroponic gardens so I can have lettuce and herbs all year and over-winter things like peppers.
My poor bees died. They were always very friendly. Now we have the Africanized bees in the area and I saw one serious attack and decided not to get another hive. Dealing with yellowjackets here is bad as it is. I don`t want honeybees attacking me too. We have a very mean dark colored wild honeybee here, I believe a tough Russian breed the old beekeepers used to raise, but new forms of beekeeping with calmer Italian bees made them stop messing with the mean ones.
That's true, same here.
I have 5 of those trees in a pot,they are about 36.inches tall.Do they stay out in the winter. Do you cover them in the winter.I live on Mississippi.
Do you harvest the pods Green or wait until they are brown and starting to split to use for oil or planting. Greeting from Australia. We have 28 trees and are planting over 40 more.
We harvest green pods to sell and make soup. And Use the Brown pods for seeds to grow new trees and to press for making oil. +Kendrick
That black bee might be a carpenter bee. They love drilling 1/4 holes/tunnels through lumber.
They’re great. Moringa is soft so they won’t have trouble getting through it. +Kendrick
My family grows trees of our own snd to trim ours we call it time to pick snd pop time each of use go out pick a plant then pick snd pop lol pick snd pop it our mouth chew it up
Dude very cool video. Thanks for all the tips. Gonna top mine.
Thank you very much, I'm very happy to help. +Kendrick
I venture to say that it's not just moringa trees that would do better in partial shade. These past few years have been very hot and damaging to plants in geographical areas that have not had these problems before. I live in Florida, in Gulfport, and this past summer has been brutal. The plants that got partial shade from the trees (in pots and out of pots) did ever so much better than those that didn't. I believe that due to the sun's changes and our shifting planet, our growing methods have to change or we will continue to lose food and ornamental crops. The big growers are going to have some challenges, as provisions for shade and moisture in hard times are going to be expensive and require re-thinking how we grow things. Covering the soil with organic mulch and plastic "mulch" may be needed.
I have two moringa trees. I have yet to eat any leaves from them, as they are both still young. One got broken off, and I made cuttings and planted them next to the mother plant. I hope they set roots. The mother plant is already making side shoots. Thank you for your very good video.
Thank you for sharing, very helpful insight. All pots really should be in shade, oh yes. Prosperous moringa growing! +Kendrick
Thank you. Great video 😊
There is an arizona gardener that puts all his trees in full sun and they are fine. I do believe that shading his trees would have even better results. My experience is similar to yours in that my slightly shaded trees are growing thicker and faster than those in full.
@@joselopez-he1mc Mine survived it's first full summer in Phoenix this year it was crazy hot and dry and it was in full sun. Turned a little brown for a few weeks but it looks great now! I took the seeds from the springtime and now have 4 more sprouts about 6" tall already
this is my first year growing moringa. were planting seeds. Im gonna trial some under thick mulch and see if they survive our sequatchie valley winter.
That will be a great experiment. Prosperous Growing. +Kendrick
@@GrowMoringa I now have probably 50 moringa trees growing on my kitchen table. My germination experiment went TOO well.
No idea what we are gonna do with so many moringa trees since its still cold here LOL.
Thanks for the info. I also wonder if my moringa is not bushing as I planted near big trees ...
Love your enthusiasm and the project. And wow, the artwork in the car is great too!
It Could be, but it bushes more from regular trimming.
I live in Phoenix AZ. I have tried on four different occasions to grow a Moringa tree. They have all died at the soil level. They get a dent, or divot in their trunk and they just fall over. Someone told me it is inconsistent watering. How much water should a little 6-8” tree get? Our sun is brutally hot, so I have them in mostly shade, and water a little each evening.
Can you also make a video on how to care for them during winter in north east zones?
Yes absolutely! Great idea. I'm happy to help. Text me for specific answers to moringa questions. 813-567-3100
Yes, I need to know as well. Perhaps in a greenhouse. But I wish this were a hardy tree.
Ah I want to grow this!
Thank you. I'm so happy I found this video. I am growing 2 MORINGA trees from seed. One is about 6 inches tall the other is about 3 inches tall. I am growing them inside in pots at my kitchen window. I do not plan on putting them outside as Im in a tiny condo (no patio or yard).
❓❓❓
Will this process also help me keep them small as well as bushy?
Any recommendations for indoor growing?
Yes absolutely, I have a free moringa manual that talks about balcony indoor growing at growmoringa.com 1)feed with BioStimulant liquid soil amendment at my shop, it’s made from moringa leaves and moringa trees also love it to grow well, 2) keep a fan on it helps to keep the soil dry on top to avoid pests and keeps the stem sturdy and strong like it would be outside. +Kendrick
@@GrowMoringa thank you I appreciate ur advice 👍.
congratulations on your accomplishments. Love your video. I just discovered and subscribed!
Thank you, moringa love!
Hi Kendrick how about the moringa seed benefits. Are they healthy to eat as well?
Im a South African Indian. We grew up eating these drumsticks and the leaves. Had no idea until recently of its great benefits.
The seeds are eaten with or without the shell. They can have vitamins and minerals. I eat them all the time. Many people do as well. Try it. +Kendrick
Each one teach one thank you
You are welcome. Thank you, +Kendrick
Hi, I’m in Clearwater FL and have a bunch of stick cuttings from my big happy trees that are growing well. However, I grouped several sticks, like 7-10, together in 2 gal buckets and I’m wondering at what point should I separate them? It’s been almost a month and they all have healthy new growth coming in. Honestly I didn’t expect them all to take but they did and I know they’ll need more space but don’t want to stress new roots too soon. Any advice is much appreciated!
Wonderful! You could leave them for the winter and split them out once they have bigger roots in spring. Or just pull one out now and see if it takes in a new pot. Experiment and have fun. Thanks for watching. +Kendrick
I miss that drumstick! Just saute that with pork, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. You can also cook it with squash, string beans and bitter gourd.
its an amazing mineral rich additive to any meal. So good! thank you. +Kendrick
Do you just cut it and sauté it or is there some type of preparation first?
@@francopp1124 You need to peel off the dark green part then cut into your desired length.
I’ve just started my first Moringa Tree in a large Flower pot and I know I’m going to have to trim it to keep it in side my house when the weather starts getting colder. I’m in the Eastern side of the Western shore Dundalk, Maryland 21222 and I want to keep it short and bushy.
Should I take the upper limbs off and keep the main trunk going? I’ll try to send you a picture of my Moringa Plant.
Wonderful! Yes, they are very heat loving trees, yes keep trimming the branches and stems, keep the trunk going. send pics to 813.567.311 +Kendrick

I’m in zone 10a, Southern California. My moringa tree is currently in a pot. It’s about 7-8 feet tall. It has green leaves and some flowers. When can I cut it down and transplant it into the ground? What should I be doing? I’m new to growing a moringa tree. 12/15/23
Wonderful! You're doing great so far, I like that you know to trim back and transplant at the same time. There's no better time than now, I think that's the saying. She'll do great. +Kendrick
I’m in 9 B zone in San Diego ca. my tree is planted in a huge tire tractor for its roots to grow. My Miranga tree lost all its leaves. It’s over 8ft tall. It looks dormant. Will the leaves grow back and become big and bushy? How do I get this Moranga tree Bushy. I cut it back once and it was still sparse in leaves. What can I do to get a bushy healthy tree
Wonderful! Cutting it back is good, the tire could be helping..or, it could be also heating up too much because that tire can be hot, but the earth is actually cool, just under the surface, but the tire could be heating up the surrounding surface levels. Does nature use tires? nature usually uses mulch, good soil and compost. You may want to dig her out of the tire, dig a hole and fill with good soil, and cover the surrounding area with mulch of some kind. I've only grown in florida and we have oak trees everywhere. Mulch is abundant. She could also use some FOOD! feed her some of my organic fertilizer, we make it from moringa leaves. Its USDA organic and helps with all plants, especially moringa. Grab your BIOBOX here to make her grow BIG. growmoringa.shop/products/biobox Thanks! +Kendrick
I started mine from seeds they are thin and week what can I do to keep it healthy. How often do I water in pot?
Awesome! Do exactly what I mentioned in this video. Trim them! And water when they are dry. +Kendrick
Excellent plus.
Great video, Thank You! We live in Molino FL, 20 miles from Pensacola. This year started a few moringas from seeds. I planted out some. But if I want to have some In pots in the first year. What size pot are You recommend?
Sounds great! I have learned that 3 gallon pots do well for space and growth and moisture. Get your copy of my new moringa book for the complete guide to growing moringa. here: growmoringa.com
Thanks your information! I’m in AZ (mountain area) Can you tell me where you are ? Thank you! We still cold the nighttime, so I can’t grow in the ground now. Maybe April is best time.
Yes! April is the best time to sprout. Our members are all over, several in AZ. I’m in Plant City Fl. +Kendrick
Thanks. We have higher this Thursday-Sunday 46~81F
Great video! Ty!
Glad it was helpful! +Kendrick
Have 6 trees planted here in Arkansas, hope they survive the winter. Cut them back, covered with tubs and mulched around the bottoms. Do you think i should cover the whole tubs with mulch? Also planted the cuttings, they all sprouted, but now are not looking as good
Hi there! It sounds like you've taken some great steps to protect your moringa trees for the winter. Covering the whole tubs with mulch can provide additional insulation, especially if you're expecting harsh winter conditions. As for the cuttings, they might need a bit of extra care. Ensure they're not overwatered, and consider placing them in a sheltered area. Gardening can be a bit of an experiment, so keep a close eye on them, and hopefully, they'll bounce back. Best of luck with your moringa trees in Arkansas!

Hi My tree doesn't grow much; produces some flowers and few starts growing baby drum sticks and after a wk they 1 wk old drum stick drops off. What should I do?
Keep growing, continue to learn, grow more and experiment. +Kendrick
I found a tree about 4-5ft tall in a 5gallon pot. Zone 9 Gulf coast of Texas. Should I repot and cut back. Should I plant into ground or wait til Spring? New to this.
It sounds like you have a promising Moringa tree! In Zone 9 along the Gulf Coast of Texas, you're in an ideal region for Moringa to thrive. Here are some suggestions:
Repotting: If your Moringa tree is getting a bit crowded in its 5-gallon pot, it might be a good idea to consider repotting it into a larger container. Make sure the new pot has good drainage. Moringa trees appreciate room for their roots to spread.
Pruning: You can prune the tree, but do it gently. Moringa trees respond well to pruning to encourage bushier growth. However, it's essential not to trim too much at once, especially if it's still relatively young. A light trim is usually sufficient.
Planting in the Ground: If you plan to eventually plant it in the ground, consider doing so in the spring when the soil is warmer. Moringa trees love warm soil, and planting in spring provides them with the best start.

@@GrowMoringa Thank you!
Awesome sir
Thank you, moringa love! +Kendrick
So do you have to protect the trees with anything during cold days?
Yes, they do not like the cold, they’re tropical trees.
Do you need bees to pollinate the flowers to make the seed pods. Currently mine are in the Lani. We have iguanas that love to eat them. Can you root in water? loved your video.
They can self pollinate, but bees are very helpful. Yes they can be rooted in water. Thanks for watching! +Kendrick
@@GrowMoringa thanks we have iguanas! They love them. Have you dehydrated the pods.
Good 👍
Great tips! Next time pls show us your bushy moringa...with so much leaves that you could hardly see the stems. Thanks.
Dwarf morninga a real thing? Will seeds be dwarf seeds... Or back to original tree I found a tree and the seeds were mini vs other Moringa seeds. Maybe just smaller batch
Haha! I like how you associate dwarf tree with a mini seed, those were most likely from an immature drumstick. Yes there is a dwarf variety and yes, it could revert back to original, there are mutations. +Kendrick
Thanks!
You're Welcome! Thank you. +Kendrick
I put my moringa tree in the ground a month ago and it's already "podding". Is it too soon to cut it back because maybe it's still adapting to its new "home".
I cut my trees back within 30days from sprouting, it’s never to soon to eat fresh leaves. +Kendrick
My moringa is 3 years old but as thin as a pencil around 5ft tall. Any suggestions?
Greetings George, that’s exactly what this video is about, I suggest watching it again. cut her back to 6” +Kendrick

Moringa grows wild here in Baja California sur
I don’t own a home so I have keep a lot of my plants in pots. I know they have a tap root system so I heard I can’t keep them in a tall pot forever. Should I just give it away now then :( it’s skinny and just one tall trunk.
If they are in pots, pull them out each year, cut the roots a little and put it back in the pot with new soil. Keep Moringa’s in a pot no problem. +Kendrick
Also do u cut them back in winter or let them die back Naturally
I like to prepare the trees for winter by cutting back prior to frosts. They tend to come back stronger than if left unattended. +Kendrick

I have a question my moringa tree is turning all yellow looks like it's dying and it's about I say 20 ft tall haven't put nothing on it no fertilizer no nothing just water I don't know what to do
Greetings David, not to worry, but the trees do need some food. The trees like it dry also, could be too much water. The water could be from the city with chemicals, it could also be that the leaves naturally turn yellow, it's best to get more answers from watching several other videos and also join us in the members area for more help. +Kendrick
Hi sir. Just watched your video and very informative. I have newly grown moringa from seeds. Its 3weeks old and having 6-8leaves . They’re growing pretty good actually. And my question is, is it okay to prune my moringa this early as 3weeks old? Hope you can help me about it. Thank you so much
Greetings, great question! If you harvest above the first leaf, it will re-sprout from the first leaf, if you harvest below the first leaf, it will re-sprout from the root. Harvest at anytime. grab a copy of my book for all the moringa answers. growmoringa.shop/products/grow-moringa-the-ultimate-guide
Hello..how often should I water them..mine keep dying..they last the longest when I don't ever water them..soon as I do they die
Thank you for asking, water once they are dry. +Kendrick
Where specifically is your nursery. How difficult was it to get licensed to grow and sell.?
Howdy, I’m in Plant City Fl. It was not hard at all. Only $30 and nursery license from Fl. On dept. Of Ag website. The inspection is only for shipping trees to California. +Kendrick
I found this extremely helpful. I live in mobile AL and I have tried growing moringa and at a certain stage, 5 to 6 inches, they stall out and lose all their leaves. I’ll try cutting them back a bit and see if that doesn’t get them to grow new leaves. I did have one 4 feet tall in a pot and in a couple of days it just up and died. I have no idea why. I did plant it outside after it dropped all its leaves. I don’t know if it will come back. I’ve been using potting mix for soil. Not sure what the best soil to use. People say mulchy and loose soil. We have sandy, clay here. I add mulch in the ground when planting in the ground. Is that ok to do?
Thank you D G, yes that is great. Keep trying. +Kendrick
