Karl has been having excellent success with his moringa trees .
Last week he station me some great picture .
First , look at these immense pod :
And what do you do when your moringa tree diagram makes piles of pods ? Why , save the seeds and plant more moringa of course :
And man , they are really making fuel pod :
Even if you are n’t trying to plant them on purpose , moringas have a way of arise themselves :
I had the same thing happen with some moringa I cut back here in the tropics . The Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree had some pods on it but was shading the garden . I chopped it back severely , but in doing so , some of the seedpod shatter .
A few calendar week later , I started finding seedlings scattered around my garden beds .
Why Grow Moringa Trees?
Moringa is a good nutrient , a good medicine and evena respectable fertilizer .
I would n’t be without this tree . we put the leave in soups , in scrambled egg and even in spaghetti sauce . They ’re loaded with nutriment . Though in India , the immature green pod are eaten regularly , most of my trees have give out to bear enough to make that worthwhile . So , leave it is .
Moringa trees are easy to propagate from seeds or cuttings . They have very week wood and can be chop and dropped to fee the soil in food forests . I also apply the leave in my liquid teatime , treat moringa much the way permaculture enthusiasts up north treat comfrey – as a cut and come again repeated that feed the grunge as it disintegrate . Comfrew never did well for me in Florida but moringa did great . I ’m not certain how comfrey would perform here in the tropics , but I ’m sure moringa would have it beaten here as well .
