It is now day 24 of my attempt to grow a moringa tree in the non-tropical northwest New Jersey. If you are wondering what the heck a moringa tree is, click here.
Here they are in all their glory on day 24.
It has come to my realization that each one of my 22 moringa seedlings is, in fact, a tree. What on earth am I going to do with 22 trees that cannot be planted outside because of my non-tropical and non-subtropical climate? Looks like I will be purchasing 22 large pots.
And a random aside to wrap things up, that’s alot of McCafe’s, don’t you think? I snatched them from my father in laws garage. He uses them for the same purpose.

I was just thinking, "How much coffee does that girl drink?" Ha!! The trees look beautiful.
The trees do look great! Maybe you could give them to friends.
I was thinking if I didn't live so far away, I would ask for one because they really do sound like a miracle tree. Maybe other people (who live closer) would like one. Do you have Freecycle in your area?
Coming from someone who has the brownest thumb around, your trees look great!
Too bad you can't send one to me!!! I wonder if it would help my son at all. I may have to try it but I dont have much of a green thumb at all.
that is a lot of coffee. The trees look great, I hope you can find a home for all of them.
Moringa trees love to be pruned. You can keep them small and harvest lots of really nutritious leaves for years.
I've sprouted some Moringa oleifera in London, Ontario, Canada. They seem to be doing very well but some of the leaves are a little deformed… I also just received some Moringa stenopetala seeds. What are you going to do in the winter? They can go through a dormant period so I was hoping mine would simply loose their leaves and be dormant until spring.
