"Stan" says:
"Most people are used to eating the leaves from the Moringa Oleifera tree, the tree that Morey's seeds become. I take longer to grow
into a tree, but MY leaves are larger, and a lot of people think that they taste better. I guess
that is all a
matter of opinion."
"While it is true that you will be able to eat the leaves from the Moringa Oleifera quicker than you will from mine, my
tree, the Moringa Stenopetala, will survive most droughts, and my seeds do a little better job of purifying water, than Morey's seeds do.
"Morey" says:
"People usually think of me, when they think about Moringa. I can be planted very successfully as a hedge, and I grow so fast, that you CAN start eating my leaves in about a month. Well, depending on what you plant me into, and how much sunlight, water, and warmth that I get"
"Both Stan and I provide extreme nutrition for you to eat, in our leaves, flowers, seeds and pods. We don't like the cold, but you can plant us in southern areas outside, to grow year-round, and you can bring us inside for the winter, if you live up north."
"Hi! I'm Morey, the Moringa Oleifera Seed!
My leaves are smaller, but I grow faster than Stan's tree does!"
