Moringa Tree from CUTTINGS - Turning a Branch into a Tree 

The jelly inside Aloe Vera is a natural source of rooting hormone if you don't wanna bother looking for it at the store. Just slice it open and rub the jelly onto the stem where you have previously scrapped the nodes.

Hi, There is an old saying in Tamil language that "Murungaya vechavan verum kaiyya povan" ( The one plants moringa tree will go empty handed) and it actually means that, The one who plants the moringa tree in their house and then consumes the leaves cooked, Drumstick cooked, will never needs a walking stick. He / she can walk freely with no support in his/ her later ages. And it is. The power of moringa Tree.

I am surprised that you don't eat the tender seed pods of the moringa. They are delicious - a real delicacy in India. Also their flowers are cooked and eaten . The moringa seed pods are called drumsticks and they are lightly peeled and cut into three inch pieces and cooked in lentil curries or daals. When cooked, they flavour the whole daal and you can split them open and suck out the delicious flesh and seed pods while discarding the hard skin. Much like sucking the tender ccentres of artichokes leaves. Only much tastier. .

i planted moringa cuttings about two weeks ago in so cal, they already have new growth. i find that bigger cuttings work better, my theory is that they have more moisture and energy so they root better.

In the Philippines, we just stick them into the ground. Planting them from seeds takes time to be productive!

So much moringa! I plan on growing some in pots and bringing indoors for the snowy winters.

Love my Moringa Trees tell us how your cuttings did!! Love love love your garden. 💞🌱🍃🌿

Hi, this is Annie from Malaysia where Moringga is grown EVERY WHERE, sorry to make you envious. You don't need rooting powder, just cut a branc, about 2 feet in length and stick it in a hole with good fertile soil and it will grow. Even if you stick it in non fertile soil, it will still grow. We never pamper the cuttings. There are quite a few varieties of Moringa.

Awesome video my brother, I just planted my 1 st moringa tree and I am so excited, Thank you!!!!Bill

Awesome Moringa tree is complete nutrients very healthy vegetable. One of my my favorite vegetable. Thanks for sharing this video. I love watching all the way from Philippines.

I had my Morringa in pot and decided to plant in garden but while taking out from pot it two branches broke so I planted both in my planter and it started growing and now I am getting fruits on it too. I love it

I would recommend lubing the bottom of the cutting with fresh cowdung(not the manure from it), digging a slender hole in the ground filling it with fresh cowdung and finally pushing vertically and gently the lubed part of the bottom of the cutting into the lubed hole. Fresh cowdung acts as a moisturizer and rooting agent for all cuttings, no fancy rooting hormones are required.

Wishing you all the best returns for your new journey in life. I continuously watch your former videos on your gardening and learn something new everyday. LOL that's because my memory is short and I have to re-watch everything but I never grow weary of watching your videos thanks for your hard work

That's how we plant moringa here in the Philippines. We ask a neighbor for a mature branch and just stick it on the ground ang in less than 2 weeks, little leaves will sprout usually on the branch nodes.

Hi Jake, you have such a green thumb. I think both of them are going to make it. Cheers to gardening

Gotta love those linebackers! I'm planting like 12-15 more for protection too

Hi Jake I am vegan also and totally agree with you about the food, that actully makes me feel CLEAN and not craving. Moringa tree is my next projact to do . Will exchange the notes later. Thank you for all your tips.

Excellent. Trimming a friends moringa's this week. Going to root some cuttings, dry leaves and brew tea from sticks and stems.

Great training! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video thanks...respect to the moringa tree ancient African tree packed with nutrients

In India, people cook with moringa pods almost every day, lol! It makes delicious gravy to mix with rice. Pods, leaves, flowers are all edible. In Africa, the seeds are used for water purification.

hi im jerald from the philippines, moringa is easy to plant and what jakemace do was a pro level I just like it

I need a moringa tree, thanks, for all this good information. (from Argentina)

I was a vegan/vegetarian for 17 years looking forward to getting back to it I don't think spirulina is considered vegan but it contains 50 to 70 percent protein another option is to grow giant sunflowers and use the seeds by eating them raw roasted sprouted or as sunflower seed butter . And then of course Moringa which is 30 percent protein same as beans .

2019, how did your trees do? Got a follow-up video?

I live in TX. I watch your video while you are planting your Muringa tree. What I did is, I used the Muringa seeds and I grow it in a big pot, its growing good, but during winter time, they died. This is my favorite veggies, mix it with chicken and enjoy my soup.

Jake I love your way of life. I too love vegetables

Very informative video, thank you so much, from Glendale, AZ! I have two Moringa’s, one small and another one a little bit bigger, this one needs pruning! I’m trying to learn more on how to trim it w/o hurting it. God bless you and your family!

Both will make it. I use the root powder and it works. Comfrey leaves do the same as all the ingredients you put in that field hole🇺🇸

Have an update for us, Jake? I love moringa!

just found your site. awesome info!!!! what a blessing!

I just subscribed I’m glad I found your vlog. I been wanting to see how to grow moringa tree. Thanks I’m gonna try it out.

Ryan G, Thank you for the positive feed back, and I learned something new! The Moringa has a different name. Cool! Be blessed Ryan! 🤗

So impressed to watch someone talking about the medicinal properties of Moringa leaves. We used to have em in our Backyard ( India ) . I tried 3 times here in NORCAL , however the plant was so tiny couldn't withstand the winter.

We love moringa !It's the perfect vegetable to pair almost everything! Growing moringa is not that hard as long as your have good soil and keep it moist! !Just cut and trim the extra limbs and stick to the ground ! :) It won't grow in a harsh cold weather though (winter)! Good luck!

fresh new moringa leaves are as good as spinach and can be used anywhere you use spinach but a whole lot more nutrition and antioxidants

Great video. Thanks for the advice. It helps.....

jake-- I've been reading about the Moringa tree and the dedicated sites indicate that a tree grown from a cutting will not develop a tap root like a tree which is grown from seed will develop, so it will not be as drought resistant. Please let us know what you observe with your trees. I very much enjoy watching your garden develop. Thanks, Taril

they should root, no worry....I have seen cuttings three times that thickness growing in a pot...they really are miracle trees.

Lot of work! I have numerous trees and all I did was stick them in the ground about 8 inches and they grow. In your climate maybe it requires more to get them to grow.

We have 2 moringa trees that needs cutting. Thanks for your info. We cook the leaves for our chicken soup. We call them “malunggay” in the Philippines.

Great video and a great message!

We have those native in Dallas. I've seen the beans on the trees. Never knew what they were called.

Good and fun video. Thanks.

Great philosophy and viewpoints on healthy lifestyle 👍

Soak the branches in willow water or use raw honey for plant starts. Works really well.

Invest in a tree saw. With your soil, I vote they both take and you get your reasonably full sized trees in a year.

Hello thanks for the great video like always, i just planted a moringa tree, i live in the south of Portugal so the weather is almost like California, this was three days ago and the leafs turned yellow and fell, i need help. thanks

Thanks

I'm holding a Garden Tour of My Yard in Tempe! It's in 2 weeks! Here's the info: facebook.com/events/1070005176354272/

Might try this

So great 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Jake

The woodchips pile that's been sitting in my side yard has a lot of that micorrhizae in it too!

Good job. Thank you. I dont have a land like your. Can I plant it in pots?

Wow I love morninga

Thank you.

I live in Oro Valley AZ i will try to do this just by sticking the big branch cutting on the ground and water it. Just the dirt and water.

I hope I can grow a couple of these here in Topanga. It gets pretty cold here.

That was GREAT !!

Thanks for the great video!! Do you get blanket worm on the tree and if yes how do you handle that

hey I heard that cinnamon can be used for rooting as a stimulant and antifungal props.

SO COOL!!

You quote Sigmund Freud. Nice work, i do veggies twice a week.

everytime I trim down my moringa branches, I cut them into 2 ft long x 3/4 in. thickness and stick them in the ground. most of them will grow.

Thank you wellexplained

Great

Thanks for sharing. How did it turn out?

How did the Moringa branches of that you planted in Feb 2016?

The ultimate vegetable. I can't imagine that this tree has Times Times Times nutrients that you could get to specific vege, name them all you will get it only in one Tree Moringga.

Is there an update video on these two trees? I’m wondering if it worked out and if those cuttings turned into trees?

We grew a moringa tree from seed, here in central Mexico. It's 2 & 1/2 years old now. I want to take cuttings.

Superb video . Perfect explanation and grate knowledge .Can we grow this in England and Eastern Europe? Thank you .

Lovely

I love this since I was a child, every time I wanted to eat this wonderful veg I used to ask my mom to go and look for the tree, because in Pakistan people used to have trees, and I also loved the leaves and the flowers, so my mom decided to grow a tree in our house , but by than I got married and moved to Canada, but I still miss the plant, now I have decided to grow the plant indoor with the seed, I ordered it from China, I will try hopefully I will be successful. What do you think about my idea pls let me know. Thanks

Hahaha kungfu, that's a good one.

? To you I live in Phoenix as just bought a morning a cutting with growth . When would be the right time to plant. This is end of July as I write. Thank you. Very informative video.

Have you used roof gutter dirt water created from dead leafs and rain water to add to cuttings or seeds to start root growth?

Hi, im frm india. Moringa is such a tree that easily grows.

I cultivated moringa from seeds. After 5/6 months they start growing moringa but i don't know how much time need to grow moringa from cutting thanks:)

We are in Australia but my mum is from asia and i know they use it everywher all the way to Africa. My mum grows it and uses the leaves mostly in soups with beef or fish, I'm not a vegan but i usually only eat rice with just the broth and the leaves from the soup and can never get enough. I've trimmed them before and from what I know of moringa tells me they aren't ideal as shade trees because they can drop alot of leaves especially if you're letting them grow to full size, they also produce numerous seed pods that can accumulate quite quickly. Also if you're letting them grow to full size it becomes difficult to harvest the leaves which is what you're using as you say and they aren't the sturdiest and can easily break or blow over during strong winds but even if they blow over they usually reroot themselves and their side branches just become become main stems. Best practice is to trim or cut them back regularly as they do coppice (grows back multiple shoots after being cut) and trim them to a convenient height so that the leaves are easier to harvest when you need them. They will eventually need to be re-planted from seed or cuttings but will usually last years. Also every part of the plant can be used even the seeds and seed pods and are eaten in some places like Thailand when the pods are very young and soft. I'd imagine they'd be a bit like broccolini or even green pea pods.

Jake…! How did the cuttings do? It's been 4 months and a few hot days in there…. Im gonna try some cuttings this week… from the seeds you gave us a year ago… those trees are pushing 16 ft now! tons of seed pods, dropped a lot of leaves but Im pretty sure it is due to the energy and water all going to the pods!

Mornings is considered the miracle tree.

The Moringa tree stores water inside, this is probably why it's a hearty tree, even though it's thin and light. Great video and inspiring, thanks for the posts!

How often do you harvest your moringa trees, and how much are you able to get each time?

Nice video👍✌

In Philippines they just stick them into the ground and they grow...

I just planted 4 of moringa in my garden

a great substitute for lava rock is ground up charcoal

i have nice moringa on the west coast of southern florida

What zone do you live ? Your moringa are awesome ! You did a good job .

Miss you in states.

A man I like your videos about the miracle tree moringa I was wondering if you had any advice on where I can get one and do you sell them?

thank u

How did the cuttings do? Please post an update. Thanks!!

Did the tree take or did it die?

I have first year seedlings that are the thickness of a pencil how do you get the trunks to become so thick? I haven’t pruned yet they’re just coming out of dormancy now

How cold can it get there during the winter? You talk about your Orange trees and I am curious about how cold an orange tree can go and still come back the following year.

Hi, this is Tonia, from Florida, I just planted my first Moringa tree, let’s see what happens.

Beautiful plant and place can be grown for fencing?
