Does anyone have experience growing any varieties of Moringa other than oleifera? I cannot seem to find seeds of any other variety online and wanted to try experimenting with hybridizing. Anybody know a source with additional species?

I am still in the research phase of my Moringa fascination, but there is another Moringa species I have found online.
It grows in Africa and is cultivated in Ethiopia.

Here's a source of Moringa stenopetala: the Cabbage Tree

Good luck!

As a society, we devalued farming as an occupation and encouraged the best students to leave the farm for 'better' jobs in the city. We emptied America's rural counties in order to supply workers to urban factories. Michael Pollan

Thanks! I've grown oleifera this season and it's done really well. I'm going to be experimenting with different techniques for over-wintering them in a temperate climate and was curious what I could do with other varieties.
