I purchased some seeds this winter and recently got some to sprout. They seem to need higher temperatures to sprout. This is my first time trying to grow these, so I don't know what to expect. I'll keep you posted on how they do for me.

I tried a couple of the seeds and they have an interesting taste, a bit sour with a lingering aftertaste. I'll be interested in trying the leaves to see what they are like.

I grow moringa in Houston. It looses all its leaves and looks dead in winter & grows back in spring from the roots or from the stem if the winter is mild like this past year. It even bloomed last fall but didn't have enough warm days after that to produce the fruit/drum stick vegetable as we call it in India. The leaves and fruit are part of the South Indian cuisine. The leaves have a bitter taste to them & so usually cooked with lentils. I guess, it has lot of medicinal values but growing up I never knew. Around here in Houston, I do see moringa being grown in a few homes. Mine is pretty small & is leafing out only now. It can be easily grown from seeds. But I guess, a mature stem cutting will root & grow into a bigger tree quickly which is what people do in my home country.

BTW, the seeds are available on amazon

supposed to be a miracle tree

I got a cutting a few years back from a house I walked by every day, the lady living there is hispanic and she uses it for medicinal purposes, I just grow it.

Tally HO!
