I ’ve been growingmoringa treesfor almost four years now . I ’ve grown most of mine from semen since those seem to be stronger than the single I protrude from cuttings ; however , there ’s a problem .
My moringa wo n’t make pods .
I establish PKM1 , which is purportedly the best type for fast cod output , yet I ’m still not getting anything . I ’ve question if the issue is pollination , since they do bloom , but I do n’t know . They ’ll flower every class , periodically , then the rosiness will fall without giving me any pods .
The same matter has happen with the moringa trees down inThe Great South Florida Food Forest Project . Who knows ?

I ’ve expect around about this problem and have seen something interesting : folks are getting pods from them even up here in North Florida , but I ’m not . On further inquiry , most of the success stories I ’m hearing about affect pod being give rise on trees that are either uprise in punctuate conditions or in containers . My guess is that the restricted root maturation / tough surroundings are pushing the Tree to produce seeds .
This makes sensory faculty . accent induces a race to reproduce in quite a few mintage , including our own .

I think I call for to assay keep some moringas in corporation to see if this hypothesis is right . I ’m also going to plant more seeds in the springtime from alternate seed lines . I have some seeds from Thailand ( thank you , ebay ) and some from Jamaica ( thank you , Rycamor ) . I also have some from my friend Cathy . Here ’s a seedcase she brought over to partake in the other Nox :
Though moringas look like they ’d be a nitrogen - fixing tree from the noodle and pea family , they ’re not . They ’re the own matter , as you may secern from the differently shaped seedpod and seeds .
Anyone have any full tips on getting moringas to lay seed ?
