Every prepper should know about this multipurpose wonder tree.

Imagine a tree in your backyard that will meet all your nutritional needs, take care of you medicinally, and purify your water for you. This tree actually exists. It's the Moringa oleifera.

This would be great if my backyard was in a subtropical climate. Unfortunately it is not.

OP is from Sarasota. If you're over the hill, maybe it's time you thought about trading in ice storms for bermuda shorts?

OP, I know this may be difficult to understand, being that they didn't put it in the name of the website or anything, but this is an Indiana forum, and most of us don't have greenhouses. That said, welcome to .

+1 to the OP for trying to contribute meaningful content during his first 50 posts. I'll be interested to see what he has for sale at post #51.

I didn't do a detail read but I did skim over this.

Since when did evaporation become exothermic? Don't tell my air conditioner that.

Never.
You must have been paying good attention during science class.
Author meant to say endothermic. To tell the difference, simply ask yourself, must heat be added or taken away for a phase change to occur. If heat must be added it is endothermic, if heat be taken away it is exothermic. In the case of evaporation in most cases you must raise the temperature for a substance to evaporate, thus it is endothermic.
Something you already know.

Interesting. Never heard of it before. It sounds like any other tropical type plant as far as care goes. My Drosera Capensis did excellent until I left it in the care of someone who didn't keep it watered when i left for two weeks.

I imagine it needs full spectrum daylight, 6500k white, high powered CFL indoors. Would do great here outside in the summer. During the winter you can buy a portable plastic greenhouse when it gets too big to bring inside.

And hurricanes. Don't forget the hurricanes.

I'm going to plant a couple in the back lot, next to the figs and the eucalyptus.

I have a kumquat that I bring inside during the cold months. I plan on getting a lemon and another citrus too.

This Moringa tree can be kept in a pot and grown indoors (probably) wouldn't ever fruit, but you couold use the leaves and cuttings to plant outside for annuals.

I might try it.

I use LED's to grow mine (Cree), 26w. 18 hrs a day. NASA did some research. Only need Red and Blue wavelengths.
