Wow you have a beautiful Moringa plant. You can cook the moringa flowers too. They are edible. You just need to saute onions or shallots and add these flowers and salt and garnish with some pepper powder. It tastes amazing
I just planted a cutting 3 weeks ago and its got leaves already. So, I live on Big Island Hawaii and 2 acres just sitting there in the Puna Jungle. You've inspired me to use that acerage for a Moringa Forest! Volunteers from all over the world come to learn to live sustainably here. I did that for 2 years so now this is a way better volunteer gig for world travelers after Coronavirus. Plus the medicine will be dispersed in our community to Kahuna who need it most. Mahalo for these videos! Rock on with your bad self!🤙🏾
Susan Peters-Chesley mahalo!!! Wow that’s so amazing thank you for sharing! Let me know how your forest does! I bet it grows amazing!!!
I read your title and I was really looking forward to learning about cuttings and how fast they grow.
Instead, you focused on the trimmed tree. Would you please make a video about cuttings and how fast they grow - giving updates like you did on the tree, please?
Thank you.
The Moringa trees in Hawaii are called Mallungay in the north of Philippines, and Marrungay in the tagalog or central area of the Philippines. The ones in Hawaii were originally brought there by the Filipino contract workers who came to work on the sugar and pineapple plantations starting about the early 1900s. The whole tree can be used, and the more you cut, the more it grows. It has a long fruit, which I think is classified as a vegetable which is a staple food in the Philippines, and the leaves can be eaten raw, cooked, and powdered. Dry the leaves, and put thru a small grinder. I keep a jar of powdered and put on my foods, especially in soups, and my coffee. A miracle tree with medicinal and nutritional ingredients. Easy to grow, by way of a branch into the ground, or a seed from the fruit.
I find myself looking and checking on my plants and trees 24/7....nothing better than growing
I'm in the process of sprouting 15 seeds! My first attempt and my first moringas ever! I'm excited!
'Another great video, Dave! I love how you don't make us wait to see the growth. The succession of video clips showing the remarkably quick growth spurts of Campfire is greatly appreciated. One reveal after another, without having to make us wait until a future video. Thank you for that. It's very rare. P.S. Inspired by your actions and suggestions, I did level my 43 moringa oleifera PKM1 trees this last Saturday - to a 5-foot "fedge" (food hedge). Got a good harvest out of it, dehydrated it and it's now in tight bags in the freezer, ready for smoothies, stews, omelets, and frittatas. Mostly for the frittatas - which also include the leaves of the Egyptian Spinach - which grew from the seeds you gave to me (thanks!). Perhaps your big moringa harvest will dovetail with your upcoming demo of your "big as a car" solar dehydrator device. 'Lookin' forward to it. Thanks again.
love it bro!
Very good
Dam that’s wild a cut that big will take hold. Some beautiful little trees. I have a couple started from seed they seem to be doing well but I’ve heard they can start well and then die or struggle after sprouting and looking good. So my plan is to up pot some and put others right into soil where I want them in my yard with some protection from tortious , Rollie pollies ,rabbits , dogs ect.
Hey, thanks for the videos I live in Florida and I had a big tree it was cut down because the neighbors complained about the flowers and the drumsticks. I live in a apartment with a small yard. Now from the one cut down branches started growing took some time. I did not know what to do with the branches until this video. Thank you so much. I planted seeds gave a lot to my mom she has about 10 baby’s. I have 6 including from the big tree. The bees and butterflies loves the flowers.
Chiquita Johnson that’s awesome!!! Yeah some people don’t know the benefits of the teee and some others don’t really care... so cool you’re mom is growing them now:) your neighbor doesn’t know what they are missing:)
Hey. Loved the progression all in one video! It's so fun having Moringa. You can practically see them growing. 🌿
YES! I love watching them grow!
Here in Jamaica they grow everywhere , I usually just take leaves wherever I see them but after watching this I'm going to start grow a few in my back yard. Thanks for the vid.
Amaturrahmaan Bint Vincent awesome!!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills do you have any seeds for sale or cuttings. Btw, the big round bumble bees are wood bees, we have them everywhere. Great pollinators. But they eat wood. Please message me on messenger
I have planted 2 days ago, I played moringa cuttings will plant some more. Can you give some suggestion after how mary days and soil
Good morning Dave, I have really enjoyed your videos! I’m excited to get started on my planting, I have 25 acres, just had my well fixed. And WOW, WOW, AND WOW. COME FOURTH Moringa! (Smile) again thank you, I’m heading out to find my first trees. I’ll keep you posted.
Hey Dave! Everytime you do a video on Moringa Trees, I get all stoked to plant just a few more seeds. Keep up the good work. Love the sunglasses.
thanks bro!
Love watching them grow! I have one in the yard and today I pruned a couple of branches and planted them in the ground about 2 meters apart. I let the original tree grow until it grew pods. Which was yummy by the way, I added the young pods (thick like my pinky) to my lamb korma. Yummy indeed.
iambrunei that’s amazing! And sounds delicious!
Develop Awesome Skills it was. Making some more soon. Just harvested some leaves. Chopped up the branch so I can give to my colleagues whom I have been sharing the leaves from my tree. So now they can grow their own! Yay Moringa!
I would like to see a video on the complete stages of preparing a hole to plant the Moringa. Thanks for all the information!
I'd like to see that too....I have a new tree and it's already over my head. I need to prune it but need to see exactly how to plant the cuttings.
You take the leaves off cut them in 1.5 to 2 ft and plant them in peat moss mix. Keep moist until they root.
Wow beautiful moringa tree. I love moringa. Thanks for sharing.
Riza Orense Li you’re welcome! Thanks for watching:)
I love your videos thanks for the motivation I just purchased my first 3 moringa plants aka trees yesterday excited to get them in the foodforest got a epic 8 acre project underway in norte Florida
michael val-pelt how awesome!!! Keep me updated with your progress!
Wow! Moringa loves Hawaii climate. Growing so healthy and lush. I have 5 trees, all in huge pots in So. California. Yes, they grow so fast. My last one is from a seed from last year. Absolutely healthy and is about 8 feet tall.
I love the sound of your water fountain so calm, great info on trimming moringa tree. this weekend I’m goin to trim my moringa and plant the cutting.
thank you! let me kn0w how the cuttings do. I'll be getting back into gear in March!
After burying the cutting, how often do you water it??
Can I overdo it with the watering and kill it? I’m in AZ, it’s PRETTY HOT HERE!
Thanks for your very informative vids!
Do you sell the seeds?
Amazing growth ! Sure does pay to prune and keep pruning to get the shape you want. plus the more its cut the more it grows. Truly excellent plant.
absolutely!
I planted some seeds in the same wine barrel half where I grow dwarf banana trees. The Moringa came up and started to get so big that they were
robbing the sun from my banana trees. So, I chopped them at the soil level. It didn't kill them, though. They grew back.
Thank you very much for your infos. Very good to see the different stage after cutting!
Would be nice you explain, what mix of soil you use to plant the cuttings and what kind of nutrients, if some.
You explain already, that you water them every day and I see you working with mulch...
Hi. Thanks for your Video with Infos!!
I would like to learn about you preparing your soil for the cuttings. Thanks!
I love Moringga! It's a superfood. I eat it everyday for brunch -- Moringga omelet or scrambled egg Moringga or Moringga soup with fresh lemon grass, squash, eggplant, ginger, garlic
Yum!
That sounds delicious!
We call it in Papua new Guinea Hovoi I grew up on it. Just recently got cuttings soaked them now majority of them are in pots can't wait to start eating moringa.
Yes you are lucky. People need to know about moringa it’s amazing!
The more I watch you and read the comments, the more I want to grow these. Here in Michigan will have to use my grow room and set out in the summer. I hope it wroks.
tinatarr it’s almost time to plant. Are you gonna grow some this summer?
thanks for posting, i have about 20 in ground various stages of starting, will do another 8 or so tomorrow, yes they are wonderful tree, besides for people i will plan as forage food for pigs and toss some into worm beds once i get started with worms in next couple of months. i found one established moringa i did not know we had it has seed pods so i will try to start each seed, my goal is at least 1000 moringa and also madre de agua and azolla or duckweed for pigs along with lots of fermented sweet potatoes, have first batch of sweet's planted had to bring from home ( usa ) to here in philippines trying to learn about fermenting. wow from what i read 75 percent moringa in pig diet i am impressed. if it all works on this small land i will buy a bigger land and have 10,000 moringa or more
dennis seeker you’re welcome! Wow that’s so great! Yes you will have very healthy pigs if they eat moringa!!
That is awesome is there any possible way you could send me a seed or cutting?
Its my second year growing moringa. Three survived from my first year plants. The ones that didnt make wad probably becsuse of very poor soil where i planted them which os more like dust then soil. But the ones that survived will have stronger DNA so their cuttings will already be adapted to the climate conditions
"Look at Hawaii back there" Hawaii is actually a Moringa tree - hilarious
Hi Dave , you persuaded me to enjoy your development with Moringa cutting . I felt encouraged with various information of planting Moringa . I felt to be bold enough to handle Moringa . Good luck from Shantiniketon , Rangunia , Chottogram , Bangladesh . I am very much grateful to you .
TridipKumar Das hello and thank you so much!!!
I am so glad I found you... loving it.... I am watching every video you made.... especially about the moringga trees...
Milo The Desert Rat of Palm Springs wow thank you!!!
Trimming moringa trees back like that makes them look fantastic! It gives them so much more character. The commercial methods don't seem to view this as economical though. They let them grow tall and stringy. There are a number of videos on UA-cam showing commercial operations over in the Philippines, India, etc. and they're all growing them close together and they walk up to these tall thin stalks and just bend them over to strip all the branches and leaves off.
I let mine grow tall and stringy last year, but I think that even if the bushy or gnarled appearance reduces leaf production, it's probably not enough to make that much difference. When they're tall and stringy, you can barely even see the blooms because they're 20' up in the air.
Just suggest me i was not able to grow moringa tree from cutting 😣😣. It's my 4th time i was planting cutting but shoots came and disappear or burn or fall off after some days. Pls solve my problem
super cool and thanks for sharing.
Afroz Hussain thanks!! You’re welcome, stoked you found my channel! Much more moringa coming this year!
Thanks for the videos. I am planning to plant some Moringa trees and got some trees that I was going to grow but after looking at your videos, I will be doing the stems instead. I am from Gambia in West Africa and we have about 5 months of rains annually from June to October. I hope to grow at least 50 trees at least by mid August this year.
youre welcome! That sounds incredible! Keep in touch and let me know how they do!
Thanj you for the videos. I'm growing from seeds and didn't know I could plant the stems. I do now!
Jira Taylor you’re welcome! This is going to be a great year
thank you sir , i planted morringa cuttings already 11 days now hope to see growth soon❤
Sweet!
Appriciate the work u put into making this video I love vids when u can see the progress like this and it takes loong time to make them so u deserve my subscribe and like :)
Just ordered my first Moringa seeds before I watched this ♥
Thank you!!! How cool!!! Welcome to the moringa family!!
I wish I was your neighbor !! I’d definitely have Maringa Forest 🌳
Louisiana just gets too cold :(
Your cat looks just like mine !!
Your rocking in the yard awesome
thank you!!!
In Central California, it gets down to 30ºF in winter and I thought it was too cold for Moringa to grow. I planted a seed
in a large grow bag and it came up, but when winter came, it looked like it died. But next June, it sprang up from it's roots.
The previous trunk of the tree was dead, but the root was alive and sent up a Moringa plant. It now has seed pods. Encouraged,
I planted Moringa seeds in the front and back yards and some of them grew to 9 feet tall. And surprisingly, some of them have
blossoms, but none but the 2nd season Moringa has seed pods. Hopefully, next year I'll have many Moringa trees with seed pods.
I suppose they'll all look dead when it gets cold. I've seen another video of a woman in San Diego, who cuts the trunks to about
1 foot tall for the winter. I think this helps to indicate where the root system is. I intend to keep my trunks uncut, because
I will grow gourds next to them and the gourds will climb the trunks.
Great video. Thanks for the information. We livein El Paso, texas. And have one malunggay tree and this is our first tree. Thank you.
gman1974100 awesome!!! How is your tree doing. It’s prob about ready to explode for the year!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills hopefully it was big enough to survive the winter.
Great video Dave, thanks for sharing 😊
thank you!
Shalom Dave, great edification in your video, and now I'm a subscriber, also I presently have about 24 plants that are coming alone nicely from seed, which I planted a year ago,one question is it to late to prune, being its about mid August? thanks again?
Hey bro, really appreciate the video. Greetings from the Kingdom of Tonga. I ran into your video after planting 3 cuttings of moringa trees cause im interested on the health benefits it provides and not to mention im looking for treatment for my gout and arthritis and i hear that moringa in the "Tree of Life". Thanks for the helpful video and im looking forward for more videos and also planting more of my own moringa trees. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Inspiring and we are getting at least three trees and do exactly what u did
great video, thanks for sharing :)
Never heard of that bee assassin bug but thanks for telling me because I love Bees ... Honey is just awesome plus honey bees need our help!
This is great video showing how gown day by day !!!
thank you!
I planted some moringa trees in April 1ft to about 2-3ft in size Now in July they are 5ft to about 12ft Amazing. I did not use wood chips actually gravel rock is all around my yard. After this rain we had last week they look really green beautiful trees. Its amazing how they grow in this heat I water them every day about 5mins each tree. I've also planted 15 palm trees in my yard they are doing good. I'm trying to make my yard look like your in Hawaii🌴🌴🌳🌳🌴🌵🌵🌿🌿
Do you still have property to plant trees
Look forward to seeing another video
Your method did extremely well in Assam,India bro🙂🙂🙂
Partha Mohan right on!!! Thanks for sharing!
Post some pics on the #iwantmoremoringa Facebook group if you can! I’d love to see what you have going on!!
Very nice
Plzz help my plant after few months still same size look healthy though ..but yesterday all leves are gone coz of wind....still stems are green what we can do about it ....to grow it healthy and big..its in pot thanx alot
Are you in San Marcos yet ? I have 2 moringa growing great 😁 can’t wait to have so many 😁
Would a Moringa survive if planted in southern AZ. Looked after 6 cool mos. and on its own during hot months {Snowbird} .These are amazing trees for health !!!
You can plant moringa as an annual - like a veggie garden in colder climates. April in Deserts but May and June in most places are sowing times for Moringa for N Hemisphere - They love the heat and full sun and dont like to sit in standing water. In colder areas you can plant in rows with a raised bed or direct in the ground. with seeds very close together they will all grow together and produce a beautiful green bounty for the summer. then when it gets colder harvest it all - roots too. and you can store roots inside over winter if you want or process them for medicinal use. In order for the moringa to grow year round, it cannot freeze for more than a few days per year.
Very impressed with your Video's, How long after Pruning do you plant your off cuts Please
Thank you! You can actually plant them right away. It’s better the faster you plant them
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills Thankyou very very much.
I just don’t know how your moringa looks so full and amazing. Mines always look thin and weedy.
Pinching tips is the secret!
Hey Dave, I am from Jordan in the Middle East, I grow moringa in my home backyard, and on the sidewalk in front of my house, I have about 50 moringa small trees, every 2 months I prun it. Here in summer the temperature reached nearly 50°C، I consume moringa as food every day. My question : How long does it take to transfer the cuttings from the pot to the soil? Thank you
I have a young, stringy moringa that I want to prune (about 7 months old). The whole tree is about 6 feet tall, but very bare. I would like it to be tall, but leafy. Should I prune it on the trunk where I want it to START becoming leafy? Or wait for it to grow a bit taller first? Thanks for your help! This video is awesome!
Hello Jenni! thank you, and yes I like to prune at approx eye level for the first time bc I like a small trunk. And this will allow it to branch out and will encourage branching and get quite tall!
Amazing growth!! Can you use moringa as a chop and drop crop to fertilize your other plants?
Absolutely! It is the most nutrient dense food for people to eat and is also the most nutrient dense food for other plants to eat!!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills 💜
Are the flowers fragrant? Since u have them at nose level.
I just started seedlings. They're about 5" tall. When should I pinch them and when should i bring them inside - We live in Texas starts getting below 70 around October/November. Thanks!
Hello, has your moringa wintered? how do you cover them in winter?
Beautiful
How do you often do you water moringa tree? Thanks
Like it boss good job how many times in a year you can yield production and how many kg you get a year
can I trim it down if there is only one long leggy stem ?
Rima Shah yes absolutely! That will encourage it to branch out:)
Thanks man for letting me know that moringa can grow from cuttings easily.
J M totally! Have you tried it yet
Great video, many thanks. I’ve just germinated 4 Moringa , my first. I live in central Portugal, frost can happen but I think I can protect them, what about watering & feeding? My soil is not soil , some sterile stuff that doesn’t even pretend to look like soil otherwise summers are like S. California
roderick fiske that’s amazing! If you add wood chips on top you will begin to build soil... I have very hard clay and rock but with a bunch of wood chips now I have great soil within a couple years
My moringa is really vine like. I’m in Wisconsin and I want to transplant it to a big pot inside . Question is; should I trim it down and is it possible to start a rooting from the trimmed stems?
i would say campfire Moringa isn't liking the ash might be too heavy . The charcoal in the ground being a purifier, maybe stopping micro organisms that work with the tree for good health. just a thought.
interesting theory, thank you for that Ill keep in mind for sure. We will see how she does this year:)
Dave
Love all your shows
Where do u but the long pots u have for long tap roots u plant your Moringa in
Or the name of long pots I can’t seem to be able to find on google
Keep show coming I learn a lot from u
Mary Gray thank you:) and currently I have to buy them in bulk on www.stuewe.com
I’m
Not shipping anything rt now but if you are in Phx email me at developawesomeskills@gmail.com bc I have some I’m not using at the moment.
Wow! they must root easy? Did you do anything special to it to make it root? Also are the flowers good for something? Thanks for all the information you give.
of course!!! Yes flowers are edible as are the leaves and pods! Very nutritious and helps your body heal!!
I want to grow some in Az.
So I have around 6 saplings grown from seeds. How long by your estimations do you think they will grow into a mature moringa?
Unknown Beast Gaming one to 2 years they can get mature and established:)
Hey Dave. Good stuff, thanks. Question; can Moringa live a healthy, long life in 15-20 gallon containers? Thank you.
Hey Dave,
I live in Surprise, Az. and travel back and forth though the SunnySlope area quite a bit as I am an HVAC Technician. I was wondering if you would be willing to sell me one of your Moringa cuttings like you got when you harvested the campfire Moringa?
Thanks for the video and info and I hope I'll hear from you soon.
God bless bro.
email me at developawesomeskills@gmail.com and Id love to have you stop by sometime around 5-7pm and get you a cutting!
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills Me too....please
I have 3 baby moringa trees I grew from seed on my porch
Awesome video!
When all of my trees finish coming up and start making flowers, I am going to get a bee hive. Moringa flower honey might be tasty and healthy.
great video, i'd LIKE A TREE ,... i'm in PHX.
Dave I brough my Moringa in for winter
It had leave but they turn yellow
I had it back outside an month ago but I see no life it trunk feel soft
? Should I just plant outside for summer then bring it back in for winter it’s get cold in al few month
Still enjoy your blog
What is the difference between two different moringa plants.
They are both goods
They have different physical characteristics but the same nutritional content
Filipino love Malonggay(moringa). We also eat the fruit.
Najma Habibty what are some of your favorite ways to prepare the fruit?
@@DevelopAwesomeSkills we usually stir fry it with alamang(salted shrimp) which probably you will not love the smell 😅.
Najma habibti... Indians curry the drum sticks and potatoes with spices. leaves stir fried into browned onion ,garlic and cumin and sesame seeds .Very tasty.
I cook up some chicken soup and put a bunch of the leaves in the soup. So healthy and delicious.
How long does it take to grow actual roots from cuttings if I put cuttings on the ground?
Wow!!!! 👋 where did you bought/get the cuttings, please. Tia!
I'm curious as to why you have so much palm leaves in the ground. Aren't you concerned about mice and other critters living in it?
Pat Williams I’m more concerned with the worms living there. My 2 cats keep the mice away:)
But they say Moringa from cutting will not live long like one out of seeds
My dad would call them the Filipino Flag Poles cuz they would grow soooooo tall lol. 15' Sometimes and people wont trim them. We had our own trees and theyre just like a Hydra. Chop one, 6 more comes back. Lol
I love the flowers too- squeezing the nectar out of them tastes really good.
Do you have a guide on options for pruning? I understand it is a broad question based on what you want it to do, but a starting point would be nice. (yes i've watched tons of your videos.) The 2 I have from seed have grown from 2ft to 4ft in the last 2 weeks.
Thank you!!! love it. and Ill work on a planting and pruning guide as well!
Those moringa flowers are edible too
are the roots invasive?
Janet Whiteman I do not consider them invasive. They are a taproot so they travel down... however the feeder roots can get big and travel horizontally also. I make sure to plant at least 5-6 feet away from any structure just in case:)
Lovely...do u consume the leaves of moringa ?
Yaxit Pokar oh yes. Daily!
WITH THE LEAVES YOU CAN NOURISH YOURSELF AS TEA, CURRIES, SALADS, SOUPS butdont boil too much..WITH COCONUT LOTS OF THINGS.. BUT PLEASE DON'T THROW..
See our plantation in SriLanka
How long it take to prune
Hi Dave.
I noticed the soil you used for campfire and Hawaii moringa were different color soil. Can you explain what kind of soil you used? Are the flowers fragarent? Thanks. Mehran from San Diego.
Hello! The reason they looked different is because Campfire was literally planted in a campfire and most of that was ash! lol. It is doing so well now though! both of them are.
Does Moringa flower have a nice fragrance?
Verica Cvetkovic some trees have much more fragrance than others. I have one tree I call ‘fragrant moringa’ and when she flowers it smells so good! But most of my moringas have a very mild sweet smell when they bloom. Very beautiful flowers though!
I have a septic does the moringa roots grow down or out. Worry about them growing into my septic.
I think you can eat the bark but can you eat the wood? Is it nutritious? Make sawdust out of it and eat it.
James Gretsch maybe not sure but the leaves are delicious
where can i get moringa cuttings or seed
Seeds are sold on Amazon
And Ebay.
Just wondering how big their full grown root system is like. I am looking to plant in between the house and fence to create a 2nd story privacy fence.
Tallulah TwoSocks they taproot but like with any tree give it a few feet clearance from the house
I just put some cuttings in the ground hope it not too late
Different variety ......this very than our one
I want to move and grow Moringa. Am in an HOA in socal and have experienced theft vandalism, etc. Not conducive to peaceful moringa. AZ good? Am 75 widow.
