I am having great luck with Paulownia trees (Royal Empress) here in Arizona. Was told they are the worlds fastest growing "tree" and I believe them. Massive tire size leaves look prehistoric. These things are amazing and I highly recommend trying them out.
@@davidjohn4150 I went to E-Bay and searched "paulownia seeds". Ordered some from Florida. Arrived very quickly. Got the "Elongata" and "Shantong" varieties. Not expensive and got way more than I needed. Threw a handful of seeds in a bowl of water near a window. They all germinated in two weeks. Fished out the seedlings and placed them into peat pellets. Kept them close to a sunny window for a month. Planted them outside as soon as night time low temps exceeded 50 degrees Fahrenheit (April in Phoenix). These things are over 16 feet tall in 6 months. Plant is the best I've ever grown. Wish you luck if you decide to try them.

If you plant a fruiting mulberry tree, you WILL get many berries. Thousands. It's best planted far, far from your house, in a field, maybe. Even then, you'll find berry juice on your shoes, in your house. And the birds love them, so you'll have purple bird droppings on your car, sidewalk, etc. Lovely tree, but sadly not well suited for a normal yard.
I've tried 3 years now to grow moringa tree and every time the winter comes the baby tree dies. I've even put mulch around it I've put it in a home Depot bucket where I cut the bottom off the home Depot bucket and put it around the tree and then I stuff mulch inside of it to keep its bottom warm and the tree still dies. I wish I had the ability to grow on that meringue the tree just can't
I am having the same bad luck with Moringa here in North Phoenix. These things were a beautiful 15 feet tall last Fall but a couple cool nights in December wiped them out. Wish you better luck this year.
@@toddphillips5949 That's exactly what happened to me The cold snap we had this winter just ruined it I feel discouraged I have one growing in a pot right now that I'm going to transplant we'll see how that one does
I live in Mesa, AZ and what I do in winter, I trimmed the trees down to about 3, 4 ft living a few leaves up top... watering 3 times a wk...cover them with cloth when too cold...uncover when sunlight up....they start back growing stronger under the sun...best of luck!!!
Omg! Sissoo!! I am still battling with the 4 I had to dig out! I love them, but NOT by a house or fence. With new build communities where the houses are stacked on top of each other - STAY AWAY FROM THEM! If you are lucky enough to find an irrigated lot or pre-1990s house then you have more options. Our yards are not graded in a way to make deep watering possible without MAJOR effort and the possible ire of your HOA. Buyer Beware! Lifted our driveway, sidewalks, and tilted our block fence. Our house was constantly popping and creaking. 😮😢😮😢😮
great content thanks! Nice Selections here. A few additions; Mimosa tree, Jacaranda tree, Yellow Senna Cassia, Gliricidia.

Great information, thank you for sharing.
No water for Moringa trees? Hard to believe. It's beautiful.

Will the maringa tree survive 7b winters?
Probably not.
Nicotine trees grow very fast but can be invasive.

Growing moringa tree in the Philippines is not a problem. Those are abundant all over my country.
