Question: how to prevent leaf falling in moringa tree? we have a moringa tree in our house where it has large amount of leaves fall on every day. i dont know how to control it

Answer: There are several possible reasons for Moringa tree dropping leaves: First of all over-watering and waterlogging. It also loses its leaves when the average temperature drops below 70 degrees. You write IN your house; a too small pot may induce leaf loss. Relocation could be another reason. Moringa trees don`t like drafts. Finally a pest or disease might cause the problem.

Question: The Moringa Tree is the same as the Manchuka Tree?

Answer: I could not find any publication reporting Manchuka tree as synonym for Moringa tree. Moringa tree > Moringa oleifera > synonyms in different languages: http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Moringa.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa I could not find a scientific name of Manchuka tree at all, only Manuka > Kahikatoa > Tea-tree > Leptospermum scoparium, a type of plant very different to Moringa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospermum_scoparium http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:KynRfKCXMaYJ:www.e-biosphere09.org/posters/E1.pdf+Manuka+tree%2Bsynonyms&hl=de&gl=de The only Manchuka tree: In Africa, there is a species of tree called manchuka. The people in Congo feed the leaves of this tree, which are high in nutrition, to their cattle to fatten them up before taking them to market. They also pound the leaves of this tree on a stone mill, add some oil, and fry them in batter. It may be a good idea to plant many manchuka trees and make powder out of the entire tree after throwing out the root, which is poisonous. The powder can be used to make bread. http://www.euro-tongil.org/swedish/english/TFbiography.pdf And in another publication: "..... to be heated with manchuka or madder root oil" is not evident if manchuka and madder root oil is the same. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vimanas/vs/vs12.htm Madder root oil is extracted from the roots of climbers of Rubia family without any relationship to Moringa: http://naturalpigments.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=455-22B http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubia

Question: Aussies: Are Moringa leaves or fruits available in Australian shops or markets? I just found out about moringa oleifera from a question on YA, and read that it is highly nutritious and has many non-food uses also. Here are some useful links about moringa [also known as the 'drumstick tree']: http://gbgm-umc.org/health/aidsafrica/moringamiracletree.stm http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1345822.htm I couldn't agree more, OldeMystic!! Invasive weeds are a terrible problem.

Answer: Can't say I've heard of it but try farmers markets. If in Melbourne try the Queen Victoria markets and speak to some of the sellers, also there big farmers market in Sydney I think its at Haymarket? Or even drive out of the city to a small town's local markets like Berry if in NSW.

Question: The leaves of Moringa are valued for their high selenium content. Does the soil's sel. content a factor? Are the leave's selenium content affected by the amount of selenium in the soil where the tree is grown? (Is there a direct correlation between the soil's selenium content and the tree's leaves' selenium content?).

Answer: Yes, depleted soil yields depleted crops. That's why agronomy came into being. Soil is tested to see what it needs and it is replenished, however, I don't think micro nutrients are often added.

Although there have been references to the Moringa Tree that go back a couple thousand years, and the World Health Organization has been studying and using the plant for the last forty years as a low cost health enhancer in the poorest countries around the world, there is a reason why the moringa leaf is still relatively unknown. The sale of all forms of vitamins, minerals, and health supplements is a big business. If you were a company selling hundreds of nutritional products, why would you sell one product that could potentially wipe out all your other products! This would be true for the pharmaceutical industry as well. These industries, with huge marketing budgets, would rather the general public remains ignorant about the moringa leaf. Soothing Moringa helps lower blood pressure and is a sleep aid. Its detoxifying effect may come from Moringa's ability to purify water. Moringa acts as a coagulant attaching itself to harmful material and bacteria. It is believed that this process takes place in the body as well. The result is long-lasting energy without hyperactivity, a nerve system at rest, a blood system not under pressure, and a gland and hormone system in balance. Here are some of the uses around the world for the fantastic Moringa Leaf: Detoxification - Studies have shown Moringa's ability to remove hazardous materials from water. Antibiotic - Moringa is used as a topical treatment for minor infections. Its antibiotic property is identified as Pterygospermin, a bacterial and fungicidal compound. Studies have shown an agueous extract made from seeds was equally effective against the skin infecting bacteria Staphylococcus aureus as the antibiotic Neomycin. Skin Treatment - Moringa has great healing benefits for the skin, curing cuts, scrapes, sores, and rashes as well as cracking and other signs of aging. Diabetes - An extract from the Moringa leaf has been shown to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels within 3 hours of ingestion, though less effectively than the standard hypoglycemic drug, glibenclamide. The effects increased with larger doses. The most popular way of using Moringa is as a tea or a spice in cooking. But the most potent way to ingest it is through capsules that are readily available on the internet by searching under "Moringa Tree Leaf Capsules."
