New subscriber here from the Philippines. We call that tree, Malunggay, and almost every house has one or more of that tree in their backyard or frontyard. I have one big tree in my frontyard, I keep cutting the branches and cook the leaves in coconut milk or add them in soup.
Im in north Louisiana will trees do well here? I have not been able to even sprout one yet 😢 I don't know if my seeds are bad or if I'm doing something wrong. I need more seed now i only have 4 left bc i sent some to someone. I don't want to keep wasting them though so i need to learn more first.
I have a nice moringa tree in the front yard, and I was interested in growing a large one next to my veggie garden in the back yard. You are growing it to harvest, I can't tell if a big tree is any good? Most people just want cut the trees back, again and again, which I understand. Yet, don't these trees produce nitrogen and help the soil?
@@allon33 It depends on the type of Moringa tree, the Indian Moringa will grow to be a very tall tree, but the more commonly found Moringas are African. Also, Moringa grows better in year long hot and arid regions; too much moisture (and cold weather) stunts it's development. weather.
@@Dream_more_age_less I'm in Broken Hill, it is very dry and our winters are mild. So the tree stops growing and the leaves fall off, then it starts again in spring.
@@allon33 Winter is one of the main reasons why ppl opt to chop-off the crown of the tree, to preserve its energy and allow it to grow back stronger in spring time. Also, the more compact the soil, the shorter the tree will remain. Moringa has a tap root, that needs to reach deep into the ground to search for water; the more it has to 'search', the taller the tree will grow.
Wow so happy i found your channel!!

As long as the roots are still alive, they are fixing nitrogen. You can continue to cut back and it will still heal the soil.
@@buckaroobonsaitree7488 But I want it to be a big shady tree, can it do that?
