Note: Moringa is very sensitive during winter. The plants we have are young and healthy at approximately 12cm tall in a 75mm pot. Ensure you do not over water these plants, they will be prone to rotting if over watered during cool weather. Roughly once per week would be enough. Keeping them in a hot house or in a very warm position is critical.
(Moringa oleifera) - Certified Organic Plants - Grown at Greenpatch Organic Seeds
Moringa is a incredibly useful tree from the leaves, roots and seed pods all being edible and having varying uses. The tree grows 5-10m in size when in good condition, preferring sandy well drained soils in a subtropical or tropical climate. When young Moringa can be delicate to get established but once established it is drought hardy. It is sem-deciduous during winter and typically won't handle frosts. Suited to a Tropical climate.
The leaves can be used as a vegetable in soups & stews, seed pods eaten similar to asparagus and the roots peeled for use as a horseradish substitute. It also has claims of high quantities of vitamin C, B and A.
