Moringa oleifera, commonly known as Drumstick Tree or Horseradish Tree, is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree native to northern India.

The tree has an open crown with drooping branches and a whitish-gray bark surrounded by thick cork. This has to be one of the most important plants that I have in my inventory. There are just SO many uses for it! With the way the world is now, this is a good plant to have in your garden.

Growing Instructions:
Moringa oleifera thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant but benefits from moderate watering during dry periods. In cultivation, it is often pruned annually to 1–2 meters (3.3–6.6 feet) to keep pods and leaves within reach. The tree grows rapidly and can be propagated from seeds or cuttings.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
