THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! How Cold was your winter, USDA Hardiness zone? Where did you place the pots? Did you use a Concrete Wall to protect against harsh winds but also to heat up soil faster? I’m working on Moringa as well. There are 2 Approaches for growing Moringa in colder climates
- Perennial roots, Winter Top Growth dies back. Heavy Mulching would help!
- Growing Moringa as an annual. If we can get Moringa days to seed maturity low enough, perhaps we can breed it as an annual.
- BONUS, Using Moringa Cuttings & Grafting them next year to speed up Seed Formation.
I found Moringa Seeds for $1.99 at the Indian Grocery Store. They taste great & I’ve planted lots of them in my Guerrilla Gardens. I’m Not sure what’s their specific cold hardiness but the species is USDA Hardiness zone 10-12. Mature Trees can handle light frosts.
Now compare the price from the Asian Grocery Store. You pay more even per unit! My question is are they different varieties?
Can you share Images of how your Moringa was growing? I’d love to compare notes!
I should also link this as well. Emily said Moringa stenopetala is more drought tolerant & taste better?
