Drumsticktree
Moringa oleifera
Moringa is a fast-growing tropical tree prized for its highly nutritious leaves, pods, and seeds, and is remarkably easy to care for once established. It prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and is surprisingly tolerant of poor conditions. Avoid overwatering, as it is prone to root rot — less water is almost always better for this resilient tree.
