The Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, evergreen, deciduous medium-sized tree. It is a perennial plant that is propagated by direct seed planting, seedling transplanting and mature stem cuttings. It is classified as a vegetable that also serves as a medicinal plant. It mainly grows in semi-arid, tropical, and subtropical regions. However, the drought resistance properties of the plant make it more suitable for drier regions. It is found both in the wild and cultivated throughout the plains and thrives best in tropical climates. The tree is abundant near sandy beds of rivers and streams. The roots are susceptible to water-logging and tend to rot in such conditions.
