A couple of weeks after pruning and there are 5cm shoots of new growth already.

A really amazing tree.

This is my pruned moringa, down to about 2m from nearly 5m.

I planted this tree as a small seedling about 2 years ago.  It grew very

slowly at first and then just took off.

Think this one is 3 years old Cheryl. They grow very quickly in summer but need water

Thanks Doug good that your tree branches from near the base, lots more spots for new growth.  Have you ever grown seedlings from the seed ?

That's good to know.
I have a few Moringas but they are so slow growing in my sand.
They are incredibly slow!
Been in for years and still look like saplings.
I do cut back. Maybe I need to be savage...and do it more often.

I give my moringa a brutal prune every year around this time.

Good cut back, I believe the whole tree can be eaten, but I am not sure how you would use the branches.  The big pieces can be grown as cuttings if you know what to do.
