The Moringa leaves are actually great for lactating mothers. They will ensure that the mammary glands will produce copious amounts of milk for the baby. They are great in chicken soups or stews, also in clams, shrimps and shellfish recipes.
Also the pods when it's big enough you can harvest it, peal off the hard casing, gather the green pods, and cook them in a vegetable soup like mongo veggie soup. The pods taste awesome! better than green peas. Although much more harder to get the pods out due to its hard casing.
Zepth Qalev Xanders we make all types of food with moringa leaves. Stews, soups. stir fry, on omelets, etc it is a real kitchen in itself. The pods use like beans.
I am in zone 8 , elderberries, mulberries, huckleberries, gooseberries, figs and grapes are my go to because I can dehydrate, can, make syrups, wines, jams, sauces, or fresh.and whatever we don't eat I can give to the chickens or song birds
Ha, love that you mentioned not to plant the mulberry tree anywhere near the foundation of your house; we have that problem right now. The previous owner/builder planted two way, way too close. One is ALSO in the septic leach field, thus has grown to monster size and interrupted septic function a time or two, now is taking its size out on the foundation. Having it removed this winter.
Now THAT'S the kind of useful information I look for in a vid! And you guys presented it in such a complete but concise way, not wasting my time. Plus watching you was fun; you and Jake are both very good at this!
Moringa tree . In the Philippines we called it Malunggay . this tree grows very well in a like salty soil...i have a lot at home...and yes, its very nutritious. .I loved it. .
Agreed about the Mulberry trees. :) I planted a white mulberry about six or seven years ago from seed. It is huge now and I have shared some berries with the local birds which has worked to my benefit because I found another mulberry growing in my yard a few years ago. - Heidi
BlackCat2 where I used to live my neighbor had a mulberry tree and it stormed pretty bad and the next day it was broken and over his fence so me and my brother ate some he didnt care though because he was never home so its not like he was gonna eat them
Moringa leaf stir fry is great with steamed rice. Try it out. Wash lot of moringa leaves. Stir fry them in a bit of warm coconut oil with grated coconut, a couple of green chillies, a couple of garlic pods along with spoonful of cumin seeds (all grated coarsely) add a pinch of turmeric and salt. Cook them for 3 minutes. Bingo. You are in for a healthy meal. Watch on youtube "Muringa ila thoran". By the way, Ila=leaf and Thoran=stir fry.
In Guyana we eat that as well. You need to pluck the leaves, the tiny stems are bitter. We also eat the 'drumsticks' in potato, fish or chick peas curry.
It's fascinating to see what people grow in climates different to mine, I can only dream about having a date palm outside here in the cool, damp north west of England. Thanks guys, love it.
Having my own greenhouse , Expansive Gardens and many different mature fruit trees and my own RU-vid channel "Gardening With Vincenzo" and starting to proliferate grafted Honeycrisp and "Sweet Cheeks" apple trees, I am always on the lookout for fellow enthusiasts to learn from. (Zone 6A) Thanks for sharing!
I live along the upper texas coast and have had a fruit orchard for almost 20 years now so I'll impart my knowledge pertaining to my area. The soil here is extremely poor and very acidic. That means lots of amendments to start with. Summers are very hot so most trees need mulch and frequent watering. I've about given up on stone fruit trees as the soil bacteria kills them after they get up to a good bearing size. Grapes do very well as long as they are pierce disease resistant. That lets out seedless grapes which will live long enough for one or two crops before the grape plants die. I chose muscadine hybrids that produce lots of grapes each year. Satsuma orange trees will produce baskets of oranges yearly with little care but require protecting the graft from hard freezes during the winter. Blue berries need to be planted shallowly, well mulched and watered frequently but will produce well. The mulberries set large crops but some trees may set fruit before late freezes and you'll loss the crop although it doesn't seem to affect the trees at all. Persimmons will do very well but tend to spread from the roots so don't place them anywhere where you can't mow. Loquats are my favorite and cold hardy but often bloom during cold weather so they don't set fruit then. Figs and pears do well here along with blackberries. Apples so so. Chestnut trees take a long time to reach maturity but will bear heavy crops each summer. Elderberries are also one of my favorites producing what I consider to be the best jelly possible. I've tried kiwis, pomegranates, cherries, assorted nut trees, apples, peaches, plums, and other fruit trees all with some to little success. I believe in planting what you like to eat but be aware many trees will only grow in certain areas of the country and may require more effort to keep them alive than they are worth.
I have the opposite problem here in the high desert Mohave, to Alkaline. To cold in the winter with Temps down to 20s or even teens, add clay soil and summer Temps that have been 125 or more degrees last summer broke the record 132. Very harsh climate. But my black mulberry flourished in this harsh environment. If it can grow and do well here in can grow anywhere lol I forgot to add in the high winds we get here like yesterday gust of over 60 mph, it's a challenge to garden here for sure, but many people can and do. Forget citrus unless you have a green house to over winter. I'm trying figs this year, I have about 18 I have got cuttings from an started, so far being my first attempt 12 have leafed but that's indoors. The real test is putting them outside this spring.
Thank you for this video! :) I live in Norway and are in to bonsai. Fruity mulberry tree was new to me, and now i can not rest until i got one and can try to make a bonsai tree out of it. Hope u have a great day when u read this! :)
I'm surprised the loquat tree is not more popular as the fruit is sweet, juicy and delicious. They're very easy to grow and the trees will germinate from seeds of fallen fruit. I've only seen the tree once in the States and it was in a park in Florida.
I have a loquat tree in my yard in Florida. There is one other that I know of in my community. Many people ask me what it is. It is so delicious. I had the last fruits off it about two weeks ago. The birds love them too. I also have two mango trees, one of which will have ripe fruit in May, the other in August.
I used to help my grandma to pick mulberry leaves for silkworm back in Cambodia in the 60s &70s. i used to eat the berries and I did not know you can eat it; because I was a kid and hungry and looked delicious and ate it; tasted sweet and sour, that was 45 years ago.
We are working towards getting set up this way! Thank you! We are trying to get our local communities/churches to start community gardens and trees that will produce organic fruits to improve health.
I would also add pecan trees and jujube. Once they are dried or dehydrated, Jujubes can easily last a whole year. And they are precocious trees that make a ton of fruit. Pecans also last at least a year after you harvest them, but they take a while to get going.
moringa trees are popular in country.. in our local term, we call it malungay.. we actually cook it with chicken and green papaya, which is actually unripened.. add more water, salt and black pepper and also add some onions and ginger and it becomes a soup.. hehe.. I'm surprised that malungay is also grown in your place..nice!
moringa is a well known Caribbean, African, Mideast secret for centuries. I'm vegan for a little over two years now, I put it in everything. I also have leg edema so it helps.
Fatman33020...How does this help with edema? I got edema after surgery one year ago. I can't get it to go away. MD's have no idea what to suggest for it.
I am Barbadian, live in Barbados. I have about five cherry trees in my back yard, they can be very sweet and little sour. We also have alot of moringa and date palms trees.
wow im happy i have all these trees already, i just really hope my date palm is female!!! only got 1 and i got it for free from a lady on craigslist and she said her neighbor brough the seeds from pakistan
Instead of waiting to know why don't you get a female one anyway and start now and if the one you already have turns out to be female you end up with a win win situation.
Greetings from 4b in western wisconsin. I have different plants (except mulberries,) but find your approach refreshing and encouraging. We have berries (ras, black ras, blue, goose, josta, aronia, gonji, straw, mul, and nanking bush cherry. Bushes tend to be better than trees because of high winds on our ridge. Allowed to grow 4-6 feet, they double as windbreaks to protect our garden.
All men are guilty of sin. Repentance means to turn away from your sin. For example, if you are a liar you stop lying. Repenting is not just saying sorry, it is saying sorry and not continuing to do that sin. Sin is what separates us from God. God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins. Meaning Jesus took the punishment for our sins on the cross. If we believe on Jesus our sins can be washed away, and God will remember them no more. If we reject the son of God and continue in sin we will be under Gods wrath(hell fire). Repent today and believe on Jesus Christ, and recieve the free gift of eternal life.
Excellent information. Thank you so much for this vid. I will have to research my area to see if I can grow all of those here. We are in Central East Texas.
When my mom bought the house we live in, it came with two fruit trees, loquat tree (which is pretty much everywhere where I live) and guava tree. Two small guavas and one big loquat tree. I'm trying to a couple mango trees and more guava trees. I also want to try more fruit so I can grow more trees.
One thing this guy needs is a goji berry plant! I had some Asian people who lived next door and we became friends and the old guy who moved in years ago introduced me to this small, woody shrub. After some talking he encouraged me to try them and grow them over 30 year ago and we STILL have these amazing plants! They're tough, cold, hot weather tolerant, then need minimal care, an occasional watering, are pest free and produce these tiny tomatoes that are REALLY strong tasting!
This Awesome, thanks to all of you. In Africa almost every backyard has got a "MORINGA TREE" planted there, we pick some few leaves boil and drink as tea, you feel less hungry, and sort of give you a balance diet routine.
In India we also eat a lot of moringa !Yellow lentils and the moringa leaves make delicious curry and the pods are delicious when stir fried with potatoes and mustard paste and in also fish curries!
number 5 Japanese plum tree that tree grow all over California, and Louisiana. that tree love cold and hot weather like as low as 45° the lowest to a upper 100°...
There are a bunch of mulberry trees on the UTEP campus. I'd grab handfulls of berries and snack on them during class. Oh, and my ladyfriend's neighborhood in Houston had TONS of grapefruit for the picking, but the trees all died from the freeze of 2021. Such a shame because we'd have grapefruit from October through January.
My favorite place for buying fruit trees, grape vines and flower bulbs is Ty Ty Nursery in Georgia. It is a great place to visit and pick out your trees or either they will ship your plants directly to your home at a reasonable price.
I love this video. I'm glad it popped up on my recommended queue. I was intrigued, since I live in the Tucson Arizona desert, 125 miles SE of Phoenix. I am anaphylactic allergic to cherries, dates, and mulberries :(. Actually, I thought the latter was banned? It is an invasive species and the pollens produce severe allergies. When I was in grad school and had moved to Tucson, I had to live in one of the massive apartment complexes here. They had old growth mulberries there. It was dramatic on how much improvement I had in symptoms, like asthma, when I moved away to another area of the metropolis. It is too bad that the city developed and they completely drained the rivers here, as well as the aquifers. The municipal water is piped in from other states, heavily mineralized, and chemical laden. A few places have wells, and the water tastes amazing. Thank you, and I'm now subbed.
Story time: so as a kid I had to walk from school to a nearby park to be picked up because my mom hated lines, and between these two locations was a foresty type area we had to go through. And on our way there was this bush that made fruit that looked like the blackberries we grew at home. So I, being a smart child, decided to pick and eat them. I then encouraged my little brother and my friends to partake as well like some kind of modern day Eve and we all would eat these berries every time we saw them. I could have dropped dead along with several of my loved ones because of this genius idea. I guess it was lucky that they were, as I literally JUST discovered maybe six years after ingesting them constantly, mulberries. Thank you for educating me.
oh my, you are both wonderful. I love anything you can grow. I have started a date plant from dates I got from store. I know it will be a few years before I would even (or if) get any dates but I will enjoy the plant itself. How would I be able to find out if it is a female or a male? I cannot put it outside all year. I live in New Hampshire, 45 minutes north of Boston, really cold and beautiful snowy winters. We are building a new home and when it is finished then I will have my own greenhouse (not a huge one but enough for me). I can expand a lot more with my growing seasons after that. Can't wait!! Wish I could have a Moringa tree. That sounds fabulous. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks so much! Patty in New Hampshire
Patty Allen.Moringa is grown in tropical areas.Southern states of US bordering Mexico are ideal. Similarly date palms are grown in Arab countries. It tolerates very high temparatures. Growing date palm and morninga in green houses in New Hampshire area may not yield desired results, due to its cold weather
Fruiting mulberry tree! I are off of one that was in a lot next to a church we were remodeling. Everyone that walked by are off that tree, lol They were delicious!!!
@ 4:36 he gives 'bonus' tree tip. Moringa tree, as noted by many. Had no idea this will grow in USA. Now to see if I can find a mature one to root instead of wait two years for a seedling to mature. At two years it becomes drought tolerant is a great tip. Had no idea. Thx.
What I would add to that list if you can grow it would be avocado. It produces fruit nearly all year long and it won't ripen until you remove it from the tree, so every fruit is ready to pick and let it sit to ripen. Also, you can eat the leaves, extremely nutritious, and you can make gluten free flour from the large seed.
It's not 'Moringa' tree it is 'Murunga' -a Tamil name, which grows plentiful in South India and Sri-Lanka. Its leaves and fruit/pods are used by every household in that region.
We can grow the tropicals, but in 10a I can't grow a decent apple or cherry! You guys get most of the good berries, too. Check out the native plants groups in your state or area, there are good plants for everybody.
I would ad carambola..star fruit..starts fruiting in a year of planting..super abundant fruit multiple times a year..sweet & very juicy & can b juiced & frozen & loves the heat..I'm in sw florida
foxxybrown No problem, That fruit stink, but mixed with a little honey it is drinkable. I never have white mulberry but I did once planted the black ver.
i have barbados cherry in container. and once it start fruiting it will never stop fruiting. always found new flower and fruit every day. i also have mulberry, moringa grow wild on back yard
Hi Jake and Green desert, do you have a star fruit tree ? It was one my favorite in Hawai. It's very water with a fresh light flavor. And another favorite of mine is the sugar plum shaped like an egg, purple with white clouds on the skin and yellow flesh. The flavor is amazing, you can't stop eating them.
Carambola (star fruit) can't stand extended cold/freezing, even once if becomes a large tree. But when established it will be a very profilic producer. Juice it, the star shape is makes it a challenge to eat. Color goes from green, to chartreuse to yellow to orange, best when eaten between yellow and orange. After that it is over-ripe.
For the UK, blueberries, raspberries, apple, pear, gooseberries, quince, medlar. Certain peaches, plums do well too. Obviously the season is more compressed.
Great to see the Moringa get top billing. We have always had Ben oil trees, dating back to 1910 in our garden in So Cal. It’s amazing how when something healthy hits mainstream it is called the miracle or the new... the staple in ours for 100years with the Moringa is the basic orange, lemon, avocado, lemon grass, gungo pea or Fio fio, papaya, ginger, sweet potatoe, onion, spinach, red pepper, honeydew, pineapple, pink grapefruit, aloe vera, cucumber and goldenseal... these are the minimum - essentials for our medicinal health and diet.
I have a couple of them, but unfortunately it gets cold here where I'm at in Texas.. Ok, let me rephrase that.. it gets cold enough to harm the citrus trees. Still working that out, but I have wild plums, peaches, mulberry,:blackberry as well as dewberry plants. I
The acerola cherries, dates, and moringa require climates/growing conditions only found in small portions of the U.S. Citrus and loquats aren't quite as picky, but they are close.
Moringa make it thru frost as well at least light frost it is just advisable to cut them down and let them grow back after winter. It won't take long to regrow. It also contains protein or so I've been told and due to its vigorous growth and ability to grow from root stock essentially it really is a miracle tree for impoverished areas of the world that don't get too cold.
Bartacomus kidd- yes moringa seeds in crushed form are used to clean muddy water.The seeds act as a cogulant, and dirt precipates at the bottom of the Vessals say after 12 hours.This is a techniques used in India specially in remote rural areas where piped water is not available. In India the mornings is very popular tree, Every house hold in southern India you can find this..Its pods are used in soups preparation
Ya'll should try my fav fruit. I dont know it in english but here in Puerto rico it's called a Puma Rosa. It's a tree n starts to fruit in like 3-5yrs. Tho since i babied mine like crazy i got it to fruit in only 2 yrs. THEY TASTE SO GOOD!!!
Awesome Videos - for those who love traditional natural and super plants for health benefit. Nature remains to be the best source of cure for all beings..
+VeganAthlete I had a mulberry tree when I lived in Oklahoma and the fruits kept getting these tiny worms in them. Has there been any problems with that here?
oktophx There are sprays based on naturell Neem Oil from India. It is organic and works quite well against insects. You also can extract some nicotine from some cigarettes and spray it on your plants.
