I shouldn't have lowered it

May 26, 2016 5:20pm CST
For the last three days I've wanted to try something new with the moringa tree's branch. I lowered it down so that I can get it when ever there's a chance I would easily just pick it. But then the next day the branch broke off, forced me to pick the leaves . This was stupid, I should have known it's gonna broke as it grows down ward. Good thing I didn't pull every branch, certain those I've pulled down will eventually break . I didn't want to pick it yet because I've wanted them to grow some pods so that I can get seeds and plant again.

Hello @Yar_Joey yeah, but I couldn't wait and wanted them to grow pods. I've actually fix it to keep them from breaking off. if they do break off, Im sure the next batch is already full grown.

@Letranknight2015 Then at least your back yard will not be crowded because while there will be big trees, there will be some still growing tall

@Yar_Joey I'm sure by the end of the year they would have grown big already. unless i kept cutting them down

I've never heard of that kind of tree, but it sounds interesting enough to look up.

You're not the only one that has happened to. The branch breaking off and all. Sometimes that's how that goes. Hopefully the next time around the branch will hold up. have a blessed soon to be weekend.

I just couldn't imagine if a storm enters the country they might break off anyway @Teep11 . but I fixed it so that it could grow more leaves.

Maybe you can use some string to help support the other branches and keep them from breaking, as well?

I decided to use a rope to tied some of them up @missjessicadawn

Never mind because new branches will grow again from the broken ones. I don't know it can be grown from the seeds also?

Hello @acelawrites Yes they also grow from seeds. In fact it's very crucial now that the seeds must continues since the stalks were eaten by bugs
