Do any of you grow Moringa Trees? Moringa trees are fast growing, incredibly nutritious, have more than 500 medicinal uses, can provide cooking oil, lubricants, fuel oil. I have seeds if you are interested.
We know this tree as a "drumstick tree". The young see pods, or "drumsticks" are delicious in sambhar. They are availabe as a frozen vegetable in the markets here. I haven't seen any fresh drumsticks offered though, which is interesting.

I look forward to getting the seeds. Your thread has had a number of people looking at it. Must be some lurkers about. I think I'll try treating some of the moringas as an annual. Use the leaves like spinach and in salads, and dried for tea. I'll try to overwinter them inside and plant them out next spring along with more seed to see how they do here with a full growing season. I'm going to top them at 3 to 4 feet and trim the branches back to 1 foot when they reach 2 feet in length to make them more bushy and compact. Then I'll eat what I've trimmed off. Maybe others will try it this way.
