MORINGA TREE 140MM

Moringa oleifera, native to India, grows in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is commonly known as -drumstick tree- or -horseradish tree-. Moringa can withstand both severe drought and mild frost conditions and hence widely cultivated across the world. With its high nutritive values, every part of the tree is suitable for either nutritional or commercial purposes. The leaves are rich in minerals, vitamins and other essential phytochemicals. Extracts from the leaves are used to treat malnutrition, augment breast milk in lactating mothers. It is used as potential antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antimicrobial agent

Moringa thrives in full sun and loves heat. It does best in tropical, sub-tropical and even arid areas, however in Melbourne the plant can be kept in a large pot and kept cut to 2m to encourage new shoots for harvesting
