Every part of the Moringa tree is edible: the leaves, seed pods (drumsticks), seeds, flowers, and roots — each used in traditional cuisines and herbal medicine for thousands of years. As a native to northwestern India, Moringa has been a staple crop across tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia. In Texas and warm-climate gardens, Moringa thrives as a fast-growing perennial tree reaching up to 20 feet per season, dying back to the roots if frozen but reliably resprouting each spring. A single planting delivers years of nutritious harvests with minimal water and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(5, 87, 5);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 85%.
