Moringa Tree

I've heard they are water intensive. How would they do on a lot that has flood irrigation?

Hi Catherine, did you try your moringa in flood irrigation?  They are frost sensitive, so try to plant them where they can be a little protected from the cold...

They due prefer soil that drains well in pots, we have been trimming back my Moringa tress that are less than a year old, six trees and have also top a few of them there are in my Greenhouse. Is anyone selling there leaves yet?  I doing it for about $2.00 an ounce.

I have a tall one in irrigation. It does great. Right now, it's in flower. The carpenter bees love it.

moringas will probably be ok in moderately poor drainage--and besides, there's not much to lose if you try. Seeds are cheap and quite available nowadays, and they grow fast, you could even grow them as potted specimens..
