You can grow moringa anywhere in the USA during the summer months as a short, bushy annual, much like a bean or veggie plant. Grow it as annual crop like many other herbs and flower plants.

In colder regions, the moringa trees will not reach full size, instead plant the seeds in the spring and harvest the fresh leaves for several months in the summer. By fall, the trees will go dormant and if there is a frost, the trees may not live. There is a chance some moringa trees could come back in the spring if your area experiences a frost, but they do not have thick bark and can not tolerate cold temperatures for extended periods of time.

As a plan in colder regions, sprout several thousand moringa trees in the spring and summer to harvest a big enough crop of greens to make extra income from your leaves. You can plant 1,000 moringa seeds in a small raised bed or in a 10’x10′ area. Plant 100 moringa seeds in a small tray and sprout them as a moringa microgreen in the winter and plant them out in your field in the spring.

In tropical and subtropical regions, moringa can grow year-round as a full sized perennial tree. Grow large moringa trees in areas that do not frost and harvest the moringa fruit known as the Drumstick, which produces seeds. It usually takes 1-2 years to produce moringa drumsticks and seeds.
