Hi All,

What are the tropical leguminous perennial shrubs which can be grown for cut and mulch? Some options which I can see are Hedge Lucern and mexican sunflower (leguminous?)

Regards,
Nandan

moringa? It will get large if you let it but if you keep cutting it for mulch it will stay at a shrub size.

From David The Good's channel I learned about pigeon peas: The pigeon pea is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae. Since its domestication in the Indian subcontinent at least 3,500 years ago, its seeds have become a common food in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Cajanus cajan
