So, it was a major success that, just 7 months after the initial planting out, I was able to harvest leaf tissue from 55 individuals from 11 species plus one interspecific hybrid of Moringa representing 46 different localities or seed sources. I sent these samples to collaborator Renuka Sankaran, of Lehman College/ City University of New York. Renuka is a specialist in nutritional aspects of edible plants, especially protein and mineral nutrition. Along with her student Scott Macbeth, they will screen these samples to start looking for the “best of the best” Moringa in terms of nutrition. We’ll keep you posted on our findings.
A major research milestone for the collection. The idea of the collection is to gather the widest diversity of Moringa germplasm in the world together in one place. Once this diversity is gathered, then it is possible to start answering our questions about moringa—what is the most nutritious species? Having identified the species, we can start looking for the most nutritious individual, or variety, or population of that species. We can compare the cancer chemopreventive agents across the members of the collection or their glucoregulatory activity. But we need the trees growing and healthy, and we need them large. We need them large to be able to harvest the leaves, flowers, fruits, wood, seeds, or whatever part needs study.

This native plant really looks promising because of its many health benefits and many uses. It can be used to treat a variety of illnesses and it is also a food source. Who knows maybe it can also cure cancer. There's nothing wasted in this plant because all of it can be used as an ingredient to medicine, the leaves, the roots - all of it. The question now is: Does Moringa grow in abundance and not threatened with extinction as man encroaches on the land where they are supposed to be growing? Efforts should be made to protect and continue to cultivate this important plant.
