Moringa (Drumstick Tree) – The Miracle Tree
The Moringa Tree is known for its nutrient-dense leaves, pods, and even flowers, all of which are edible. It’s often called the “miracle tree” for its numerous health benefits and uses.
Tree Characteristics:
• Size & Growth: Grows rapidly, up to 15-30 feet tall, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller, more manageable size.
• Planting Zone: USDA Zones 9-11.
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in containers, though it prefers being planted in the ground for full-size growth.
• Flowers: White, fragrant flowers that bloom throughout the year, attracting bees and beneficial insects.
• Fruit: Long, slender green pods (called drumsticks) that are used in cooking, particularly in Indian cuisine. The leaves are highly nutritious and can be eaten raw or cooked.
Use: The leaves are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and calcium. They can be used in smoothies, salads, or cooked like spinach. The pods are popular in curries and soups. The seeds can also be pressed for oil.
Standout Feature: Its incredible nutritional value makes it a popular choice for health-conscious growers. The fact that nearly every part of the plant is edible or useful makes it one of the most versatile trees you can grow.
Care Tips: Moringa thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden. Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth and manageable size.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
