Moringa oleifera is suitable for planting in spring.
Moringa tree (Latin name: Moringa tree Oleifera
Lamarch, English name: Moringa
tree), also known as drumstick tree and wasabi tree, belongs to Moringa family, belonging to small evergreen trees to large trees. There are 14 known species of Moringa tree, including Indian Moringa tree and African Moringa tree.
Moringa oleifera is native to the foothills of the sub-Himalayas in northeast Africa and northern India, the coast of the Red Sea and other places with extremely harsh natural conditions.
Moringa oleifera likes light and its taproot is very long, so it can
tolerate long-term drought. Its suitable growth temperature is 25 ~ 35℃, and it can tolerate the high temperature of 48℃ and slight frost under shade. The above-ground part of Moringa oleifera may be killed by severe cold, but after severe cold, new buds can still germinate and grow into plants. Moringa oleifera is propagated by seeds or cuttings, and grows rapidly. If pruning is not carried out in the seedling stage, it can grow to a height of four meters in the first year, and the trunk diameter can reach 3 cm.
