Hi group. I live in Israel. I’ve planted 14 moringa starts on my property. Only one was a sapling, the other are seedlings I’ve grown from seeds.
Here’s my question concerning the trees. I read that wind is hard on the trees. We have about 50 days a year of hot winds that come up out of Egypt and the temperature will reach 45- 50c (113-120F) in addition to the winds. I see it is very drying and damaging to plants and flowers hybridized for our region. However, even now at 34c (93f) with wind I’m seeing wind stress on the seedlings and sapling. Am I going to lose my trees or will they acclimate???
It’s not possible to protect what I have already planted from the winds. My intention had been to use the moringa for a canopy as well as food. Literally to use them to protect the rest of the property. My goal is a forested garden.
Thanks.
Edited: I’ve managed to add a video so you can see the condition of the leaves on the Moringa sapling, it is the same on the tops of the seedlings now as they have gained height.Hi group.
