11. How many trees I need to plant to supply my family with fresh Moringa leaves?
Well, now, that all depends on how large your family is! For a family of four, living in a tropical area, or where the temperatures are very warm, four mature trees should be plenty. However, most people do not live in a warm climate, so if that is the case, you should plant them as an annual, and harvest leaves frequently, keeping the seedlings about waist-high. That way, as you remove the top leaves to eat them, more leaves will be constantly produced, until the fall or winter months arrive.
12. Is it safe to eat the buds, or the blossoms - flowers - of Moringa trees?
Due to some information that we have read, if pregnant mothers consume a lot of the flowers, there is a possibility that the flowers can act as an abortificant. We do not know that to be true, but it very well MAY be, so if you are in that category - do not eat them.
Other than expectant mothers, anyone else should simply eat small quantites of the flowers, as eating too many can have a laxative effect.
13. How long does it take for the trees to produce pods?
Our experience has been, that we have pods that start appearing on our trees, about 6-7 months after we plant the seeds. We live in a very warm climate, with a lot of sunshine and rain, and loose, sandy loam. In other areas, it would be reasonable to expect it to take a lot longer.
If you are growing Moringa as an annual, you may never get pods from them, as you may not have a long enough growing season. If you are fortunate enough to grow them in northern areas in a greenhouse, you should have pods reasonably, within about 8 months from when you planted the seeds.
