Moringa #

Moringa ovalifolia

A fast-growing, drought-hardy tree with a distinct bottle-shaped trunk that stores water during dry spells.
Found in Namibia and Angola, it’s often spotted in rocky or semi-arid areas where few other trees thrive.
Unlike the widely cultivated Moringa oleifera, it is less known for its edible parts, though its leaves may be browsed by wildlife.
Its architectural form and resilience make it a feature in arid landscaping.
Its sparse canopy still casts ample shade—an unlikely comfort in its sun-beaten habitat.
