Hi all, I've been getting information about this Moringa Tree which is being touted as a Miracle Tree for the fact that it has so many positive attributes. Almost all parts of it are edible. It has an immune boosting property. It is being planted by the millions by various church groups in Africa to help the people devastated by HIV/AIDS and starvation. The leaves can be dried and added to polluted water and it settles the particulates in there to make water more potable.
Does anyone know if it survives cold weather? Could it be grown in Northeast Georgia for example? Is it invasive? http://gbgm-umc.org/health/aidsafrica/moringamiracletree.stm Check out this website for your own information. For those who are interested in Permaculture, this tree has been being used at ECHO (a Christian center in mid-Florida which uses advanced research and techniques to overcome hunger in 3rd world nations) in many types of climates. It has multiple functions which work beautifully in "food forest" types of applications as well as good cut and drop applications in rows to hold soil and grow on steep property. Anyone out there with information first hand on this would be greatly appreciated. Diann Dirks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
