Moringa in Austin
Chris,
It looks very healthy, if not a bit lanky. Congrats on getting it up to that size! I am impressed. I think you are supposed to trim the primary tip to 1-1.5 meters high to make it less lanky and more full according to the new package of seed I just got. I am going to try them again while it is still hot to get germination on the bush type and the oleifera type. I only had success with the African which have 100% germination, while the other have 90-80% or less. What do you plan to do for the winter with that Poplar tree sized Moringa? ;-) I mentioned to the man at Taj Grocers that I had 3 Moringas and he said they are very expensive and there are two different flavors of drumsticks (pods) from two different type trees. He was bit amazed that I had some since they do freeze here if not brought in and they are very rare in Austin. I also have a huge curry leaf plant too that I want to take a picture of and a caper bush that I will put up on my URL when I get a chance. I like unusual plants and ones that you cannot find here. I am a weird edible plant person. I love all sorts of international cooking and like to grow the unusual exotic (foreign) ingredients. I can't wait to make some Sambhar soup with my Moringa pods. I am also going to grow some some Hibiscus sabdariffa "Florida Cranberry" for drinks and sauces, Roselle/Jamaican Sorrel, some Lablab purpureus, 'Red Fortune' vine for the edible pods, and some Yard Long bean mix which love hot and humid.

Moringa in Austin
Hi Gae,
I won't do anything when the freeze comes. My philosophy is if it can't survive an average Winter in Austin I don't need to be growing it. The 3+ inches of mulch keeps the roots of most things well protected. If we ever get another Winter like '83 & '89 I'll throw a mound of extra mulch on the roots and hope for the best. I was more interested in seeing them bloom than having a bushy plant. If it survives this Winter it'll be plenty bushy next Spring. Regards Chris "Gae Xavier" wrote in message ...
