Malunggay / Moringa Oleifera will grow in any type of soil. Sandy loam is preferred but even in clayish soil it will grow. Malunggay can survive through droughts. | Malunggay / Moringa Oleifera will grow in any type of soil. Sandy loam is preferred but even in clayish soil it will grow.

It will grow real well anywhere near the growing zone of the equator (zone 12 to 13). But Malunggay/Moringa Oleifera will also grow and survive within zones 5 through 11. In areas where the temperature drops below freezing as in some parts of California and Texas, Malunggay/Moringa will still survive. The tops will freeze but the deep roots will survive. So as soon as the weather warms up in spring, the malunggay/moringa will shoot out some saplings. Within a couple of months you can start harvesting the leaves for vegetables. | It will grow real well anywhere near the growing zone of the equator (zone 12 to 13).

In areas where the soil freezes to about 6 inches, you can cut the Malunggay/Moringa tree down to about an 8" (eight inches) stump). Insulate it with leaves so the the soil of about 2 feet radius of the trunk won't freeze. When the snow melts and the temperature is over 40*F remove the insulation and let the Malunggay/Moringa "breath", soon enough you will see saplings and you can start harvesting again within 2 months. | |||
