    Why won't my pomegranate set fruit, lots of flowers but no fruit has ever set. I think it is a wonderful variety.

    Lots of possibilities!

    How old is it? Sometimes it takes a while for pomegranates to start fruiting.

    "Wonderful" isn't particularly cold-hardy. If you do have a wonderful, maybe it is just a bit too cold?

    If you don't have a Wonderful, is it possible that you have an ornamental pomegranate? There are many varieties that are just grown for flowers, not fruit.

    I don't know poms well enough to give tips about nutrition or watering or soil types etc, all of which could also cause fruiting issues.

    I am doing a project on The Moringa Plant i.e.setting large number of plants for the local market. Can you give me some advise.

    Edenexoticplant, try the Tropical Zone Gardening section -- that's open to nonsubscribers and is probably the place you'd most likely find someone who knew something about the Moringa.
