How long does commercial moringa take to start yielding and how do I propagate it?

Moringa is fast for a tree crop. Grown from seed it can start giving pods within about the first year in good conditions, and for leaf harvesting under high density pruning you can begin taking cuttings of tender growth even sooner once the plants establish. It is usually raised from seed for commercial pod and leaf plots because seed is cheap and gives a deep root system, though it can also be grown from large stem cuttings for quicker establishment in some pod systems. For leaf and powder you plant dense, keep the plants short by topping and pruning, and harvest soft growth repeatedly. For pods you space wider and let the plants form a canopy. Decide leaf versus pod before planting because the spacing, variety and pruning differ. Confirm the right planting material and spacing with your horticulture department or KVK.
