Kenlovell1 Forum Contributions Drumstick tree - Mine was only good for leaves in a pot. It's only since I've been growing them in the ground they've produced lots of pods. They're mulched with wood chip but never get fertilized or watered...1811 days 21hrs Drumstick tree - I have an absolute bumber crop of pods this year and I've been enjoying the seeds like peas, either boiled or stir-fried. You can also steam the whole pod, let it cool, and scrape out all the insides, flesh and seeds. To be honest it wasn't memo..1842 days 24hrs
Comments: - A very handsome tree that is now growing quite quickly after a slow start. It had its first fruit last year - a small crop but delicious if left until very ripe. The fruit fly left them alone too, which was a pleasant surprise. The tree currently has a lot of early flower shoots and I'm looking forward to a good crop this year.
