We had this tree that yielded drum sticks for years. We had to chop it down as its roots went into the septic tank blocking the flow. Every part of the moringa tree has health benefits - the flowers, the leaves and the drumsticks. They can be cooked in several different ways The link below lists out its several benefits. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319916 What is your experience with the moringa tree?

It is easy to grow as a cut branch could start to grow again or you can start from the seeds. I only know how to consume the leaves and I know it is a very nutritious meal I know some uses the seeds in a dish.

@allknowing There is one province here that makes a dish out of seeds. I have never tried it too.

Sounds like a useful tree. I’d never heard of a mooringa tree. Are they plentiful in you country?

Yes. Plentiful. Easy to grow. Even a cutting can grow into a tree

Here many have trees in their gardens and so use the leaves, flowers and pods.
