Moringa

Native to India and Sri Lanka, it is now acclimatized in almost all tropical regions: this small, fast-growing, drought-tolerant honey tree can measure up to 10 meters. Its young pods and leaves are used as vegetables. The axillary buds on the green stem appear from mid-May. It is at this time of year that there is a resumption of plant growth. The seeds can also be used for water purification, as a detergent, or as a medicinal plant.
