Growing tips for Moringa Horseradish tree seedlings:

1. Over watering causes stress on the plants especially during the growing periods (when the plant is still less than 6 feet tall). This plant is reasonably drought-tolerant.

2. Some gardeners continuously prune the tree as it reaches 6 feet (2 meters tall) to encourage it to grow into more of a bush instead of becoming too tall. 

3. In colder climates, moringa is deciduous, dropping its leaves in autumn. It won't tolerate deep cold. 

Cooking tips: cook leaves like spinach, seed pods like green beans and roots like horseradish. The nutrient-rich Moringa leaves are also used in soups and stews.
