Moringa is a highly nutritious and fast-growing tree often referred to as the “drumstick tree” or “horseradish tree.” It is valued for its edible leaves, pods, and seeds, all of which are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a crucial addition to food forests. Moringa trees can reach heights of up to 40 feet, and their rapid growth, along with their adaptability to diverse climates, makes them an ideal choice for food forests to provide a continuous source of highly nutritious food year-round. Cultivating moringa successfully involves well-drained soil, regular pruning to manage size and shape, and ensuring sufficient spacing to accommodate their rapid growth and encourage a steady supply of edible parts.
