Moringa aka Tree of Life - Tropical Super Food Heirloom Seeds
Moringa oleifera
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing subtropical, drought-resistant tree. Common names include moringa, drumstick tree, and horseradish tree. Leaves are typically used to make a caffeine-free tea. The leaves can also be dried and blended into powder form so it can be added into smoothies. The leaves are considered a super food, as it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and high in plant based protein. It also contains all eight essential amino acids. Moringa contains 7x the Vitamin C found in oranges, 4x the calcium of milk, 4x the Vitamin A of carrots, 3x the potassium of bananas and essential trace minerals such as iron and zinc. Does best in zones 9 and warmer as it is a tropical plant. It is very fast growing and the leaves/branches are used for "chop and drop" garden practices and composting. The leaves can be soaked for a few days in water and then blended to make an all natural fertilizer. Can also be used to feed chickens.

The tree can get up to 40 feet high at maturity. It is common to cut the tree down to its trunk to make it continuously put on new growth.

PLANTING & GROWING
Germination: 1-4 weeks, it takes a long time to germinate because of its hard shell. Soak in water for 24 hours before planting into a a larger sized container filled with seed starting mix. Use a heat mat to speed up germination. 

Seed Sowing Depth: lightly cover with soil, about 1/2 inch

Sowing: Start in doors 2-3 months before your last frost date. This is a subtropical plant and it does not tolerate weather below 40 degrees Fahrenheit well. It is perennial in zones 9 and warmer. If your in a colder zone, then bring in doors for the winter.

Sun: Moringa grows best in full sun but can handle some partial shade

Soil: Moringa is not picky when it comes to soil and will grow well in poor soils like my native Florida sandy soil

Water: Does not like growing in water logged soil as this will cause root rot. Once established, mature moringa trees are very drought tolerant and survive my natural rain fall cycles here in Florida without me having to water it. 

Cold Hardiness: Moringa is a tropical plant and does not grow well in the cold. It is cold hardy (if grown outdoors) down to USDA garden zone 9. 

Harvesting the Leaves: Young tender new growth are the best leaves to harvest if eating fresh. Older leaves get tough. Commercial moringa farms harvest every 2-3 weeks which encourages the plant to constantly be putting on new growth. Harvest leaves before bad storms or hurricanes. Otherwise the strong winds will defoliate the trees and you will loose the harvest. 

Using the Leaves: Moringa leaves are excellent as an ingredient to make compost or can be used as a green maure/mulch around plants. Moringa leaves can be used to me a liquid fertilizer for plants (see my video linked below). The leaves can also be dried for longer storage. Once dry, the leaves can be blended in a blender to turn into a fine powder which is easy to add to drinks like smoothies.

Pruning/Cutting Moringa Trees: Moringa will grow to a tall tree, over 30FT tall which can make harvesting difficult. It is highly reccomended that you hard prune the tree down to your height so harvesting is easy and it keeps the tree compact in size. Literally cut the tree at the trunk. Trust me it will grow back.

Great Mineral Facial Sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best mineral facial sunscreen I’ve used. It comes out as a thin lotion that spreads easily. I have used two other brands and considered a brand that was expensive before trying this. I liked baby bum mineral 50 sunscreen lotion for the body and decided to give this a try. I like sun bum products. They tend to make effective products that are not too expensive. The zinc oxide mineral facial sunscreen I was using slightly irritated my skin and felt heavy like a mask after applying. It left a greasy residue on my face. This sun bum facial mineral sunscreen is non-irritating and feels very light like a chemical-based facial sunscreen. It leaves no residue on the skin. I prefer zinc oxide mineral sunscreen because it’s natural, safe and effective. Some zinc oxide mineral sunscreens put a white caste on the skin after application. The titanium dioxide and zinc oxide blended mineral sunscreens are worse due to the titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is a bright-white powdered substance, and I have not experienced any product with this ingredient that doesn’t appear white on the skin and cannot be blended. This sun bum zinc oxide mineral facial sunscreen has no white caste. Like another reviewer, I also hope that sun bum continues to make this facial mineral sunscreen indefinitely. It’s the best I’ve ever tried and at an excellent price point. If you like mineral sunscreens due to the health and environmental concerns with chemical-based sunscreens, try this before trying more expensive mineral facial sunscreens.

Great sheer mineral sunscreen!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve never been a mineral sunscreen fan but I really love this one. I needed a mineral sunscreen for days where I knew I was going to be sweating or swimming because the chemical stuff would run into my eyes and burn so bad. This one doesn’t burn my eyes at all. It doesn’t leave a white cast but it is a little oily and leaves me quite shiny for about 10-15 mins until it fully dries. I don’t really mind because it works well. I would definitely recommend 👌

It's okay. Better for dry skin.
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It's a nice product but still too greasy for my poor skin. It's pretty moisturizing. It isnt thick, but my skin gets greasy quickly with it. (I prefer Australian Gold tinted (the big tube meant for the body, not face).
