Drumstick Tree ( Moringa )

$24.00 ($19.75-$59.00 choose a size)

Also known as Horseradish tree or Tree of Life. It is considered one of the most useful trees in the world by some. In Asia, the peeled roots are used as a substitute for horseradish and the edible leaves make a highly nutritious vegetable. It produces long green pods that have been compared to a cross between peanuts and asparagus. Claims are made that its tiny leaves contains 7 times the Vit C of oranges, 4 times the Vit A of Carrots, 4 times the Calcium of milk, 3 times the Potassium of Bananas, and 2 times the protein of yogurt. The roots have also been documented as useful in many folk remedies. It originates in India and has spread in popularity to many parts of Asia, Central and South America, Africa and the Pacific. In Africa it has been also called the Miracle Tree with so many uses. This tree has delicate foliage and attractive pale yellow flowers. The slender, semi -deciduous, perennial tree, to about 10 m tall with drooping branches. Best kept pruned under 2m for ease of harvest. Thrives in subtropical and tropical climates, flowering and fruiting freely and continuously. Grows best on a dry sandy soil. Makes an ideal shade tree with high drought resistance. In temperate climates it may be beneficial to grow in pots for the first year or 2 when the tuberous root system can establish in a warmer position with sun on the pot. When larger they can be planted out, but still expect some dying back over winter as normal. Feed for best results, growers report good results from periodic fertilisation with good quality fertiliser, foliar sprays of seasol and the periodic application of Epsom salts if your soil requires.

This is a "must have" tree for making Thai curries. Also, can add 5-6 leaves to fried rice for an excellent alternative. Mine is happily growing in a pot w full sun. Treat citrus leaf miner & grass-hopper with Yates Pyrethrum / Pest Oil every 2-3 weeks
