This "slip" is a 7 foot tall cutting of a moringa trunk, cut so that it's tall enough to bury 3 feet deep and keep the growth tip out of reach of grazing animals. One of the most nutritional and hardy trees in the world. Renowned for its super-food qualities, this tree is drought resistant and highly medicinal. With white flowers that appear at any month of the year, it is amazingly beautiful (great for bees) and can be pollarded to provide extremely versatile landscaping uses. High in protein, essential amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, calcium (when dried; contains oxalic acid when fresh that inhibits calcium uptake but it breaks down once dried or cooked). It's off the charts! Seeds from pods are used to purify water in India, where this plant is native. It also does not get out of control, but can be easily propagated with stem cuttings..... a truly amazing tree and one of our absolute favorites at Creque Dam Farm!
