These are my 4 little Moringa Oleifera trees I started from seeds about 2 weeks ago.
Does any one have any suggestions?
Let's see how successful I will be with them.

Sunush on Sep 28, 2013They take the heat very well and very rapidly and yield twice a year.

Douglas Hunt on Sep 29, 2013A friend is growing a small forest of these. From what I recall his saying, they will take sun or shade and have minimal water requirements. They do have a strong taproot, so choose where you want them with care and don't try to move them once they're established. (Also, they'll handle a mild freeze, but if temperatures dip this winter you'll want to protect those young plants.)

Leida R on Sep 29, 2013@Douglas Hunt, thanks for the advice, and I guess I would then wait until the beginning of next Spring to put them in the ground. BTW, where is your friend doing his Moringa big project? Is it here in Florida? I will like to know so that, that info will give me an idea of the temperature his working with.
