Unlocking the Green Gold: A Complete Guide to Harvesting Local Drumsticks
We got this one from Grow Moringa Farms, this is one of ourfirst drumsticks that we harvested right on the farm some from some of our trees. The reason why we're able to harvest drumsticks that are so thick and big is because we popped the flowers off the drumsticks within the first year. We've been here about a year and a half at this new property which is a rent to own. I used to work here seven years ago as a nursery hand right in this back area. It's been really lovely getting a hold of this property, getting stable, getting the roots on the ground; and that's what we're doing we're growing moringa trees. We're growing moringa in many different ways and I'd love to share them with you.

We got some trees going, they just popped. These are all aboutmaybe a month or two. We havea nice couple rows forming. As I go further back into the shade they get a little taller, they get a little bit more flush, and they start to look a little bit more green and bushy. If you're growing moringa trees in a pot try not to keep them in full sun. They don't have a cooling mechanism.

I cut it back once, I popped the flowers a couple times, it was real bushy, it had a lot of greens on them, but I wanted to use this row as an example so you could seewhy they're not bushy. I'd come back and I'd cut it back here about 18 inches from the split, that way from the collars they regrow new branches and it splits out and gets more bushy. So just cut it back here at a 45 degree angle about 18 inches from the split. And this tree will be a short bushy tree within a couple of weeks from now.
