Well... the COLD weather December 2009 and January 2010 certainly didn't do our Moringa trees any good! They have survived, but they need the sunlight and the warm weather, to thrive. Supposedly, the Moringas will drop their leaves if the temperatures average 50°F or below. Ours didn't, but they lost a lot of leaves when the temperatures got into the 30's!~~~~~~~~
Our poor trees, took such a hit! Going to put some photos up, so you can see how badly they took a beating, because not only did we get COLD, here in Florida - we had lots of ---WIND, which just "beat them to pieces", but left them alive! When I checked on the trees in one of our locations, they just looked "dead", but look at the photos, and you'll see - they are very much alive! We were SO glad! The trees at our other location, have water near them, on both sides, so they fared much better than these did, but they are ALL --- alive!

We grow and sell Moringa trees, so you can buy Moringa Oleifera seeds, Moringa Stenopetala seeds, Moringa Oleifera seedlings, Moringa Stenopetala seedlings, and Moringa Leaf Powder from us online, right here in sunny Florida. All of our Moringas are organically grown, using no chemicals or fertilizers, other than a really good organic one.

We eat the leaves, buds, flower blossoms, pods and seeds from our own trees, and we don't want those synthetic chemicals put into our bodies, anymore than we want them in yours! The closer to nature that you eat, you know, the better off you'll be.

Many people ask us how to grow Moringa. Well, if you live where the weather is tropical, you grow them in the ground, year-round. If you live where winter brings freezing temperatures, you can grow Moringa as an annual - plant it in the spring, when the ground is warm, eat the harvest from it all summer long, and when the temperatures get into the 50's, dig it up and bring it inside for the winter. Alternatively, you can just let it go in the winter, and plant fresh seeds the next year.

~~~~~~~~
If you intend to bring your Moringas inside, make sure they are in a large container, as they develop BIG roots. If you give them LOTS of indoor light, in the form of plant lights, and an organic fertilizer, they will almost grow like "bonsai".
~~~~~~~~
One thing to remember, about Moringa trees, is that they will grow faster, and bush out beautifully, if you prune them - a lot, and often. If you DON'T, they will grow into a tall tree very rapidly, and put their leaves, buds, blossoms and pods...out of your reach.

What more can I say, except that I love Moringa! It truly was "love at first bite", and our appreciation for the humble Moringa tree just grows and grows; just like our Moringas!
