Description

Drumstick, or Moringa oleifera, is a fast-growing, deciduous tree native to northwest India and found throughout tropical and subtropical areas. In most of the U.S., it can be raised as a container plant, and will start producing pods by the eleventh month. In Florida, it can be grown outdoors south of Fort Myers as well as in Arizona and Southern California. Throw the pods and leaves into classic Indian dishes like sambar and avial! Nutritionally, the leaves are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, calcium, protein and potassium. Additionally, there are numerous medicinal uses: the bark of the tree has been used to treat abdominal discomfort, boils, cold, rheumatism and scorpion bites, while the leaves have been found effective for the treatment of hypertension and conjunctivitis.

We currently offer 5 varieties of Moringa seeds: Dwarf Variety PKM1, Dwarf Variety PKM2, Dwarf Variety ODC3-fastest growing hybrid, Full sized Moringa tree var Shah Jahan, NEW!-Large Leaf Hybrid Moringa var Mumtaz

Latin Name & Planting Guidance

Latin Name: Moringa oleifera

Planting Guidance: Moringa trees thrive in well-draining, sandy soils. Moringa grows best in temperatures between 77 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit, although they can tolerate extreme temperatures as high as 118 degrees Fahrenheit, as long as they are positioned in the shade. We recommend soaking the seed in warm water overnight before sowing 1/2 in deep. It's best to start them indoors to protect the seedling from harsh wind, temperatures, or wildlife while it's growing. Soak the seeds overnight in water to speed germination. Fill a container with seed-starting soil, and plant the seeds 1-inch deep. Cover with mix and water well.
