Maybe I can post some pics soon...
Ive got 2 little trees in a pot. I pinched 3 leaves and ate them today. Just a bit of green/planty taste, not bitter. they have the thinnest most ephemeral seeming leaves, I guess thats how they survive in the desert is to have a high evaporative surface? |

I just posted a question asking if anyone knew anything about this. After reading an interesting article about it, I thought it would be neat to try growing it. How did you do? I'm not sure it would be warm enough here in Oregon to grow it, but would love to try.

Last year got away from me... i got married and my dad spent months in the hospital and a nursing home!
but, the one moringa tree somehow lived in its quart sized pot. didnt get big but made leaves. they are OK tasting raw. Didnt get much farther than munching a few. Didnt seem to have any pests. This year I have 2 planters (3-4 gal) and ill clip to the strongest if I have both seeds in a pot come up! |

Congratulations on your wedding and I understand about parents with medical troubles.
If you think about it, please post sometimes to let us know how the Moringa plants do. |

Growing both Moring Oleifera and Moringa Stenopetala in 15 gal pots. Plants have broke the surface and produced sets of leaves, flavor is fairly unremarkable, can't wait for flowers and seedpods! I'll keep you updated.
