→Where does Malunggay / Moringa Oleifera 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 | In areas where the soil freezes, you can cut the Malunggay/Moringa tree down to about an 8" (eight inches) stump). Insulate it with leaves or grass (pile it wide and high) so the soil of about 3 feet radius of the trunk won't freeze. The snow on top of the pile will help insulate your malunggay. 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. | ||
