| About four years ago a friend gave me some moringa seeds and some rooted sprigs of "kartook.' Both have grown well but I can't find "kartook" on the internet other than in posts I have posted. Does anyone know a better English spelling or transliteration or latin name? It has tasty, edible nutty leaves and tiny red flowers. |

| Zorba: Do you know what language the 'kartook' is from? Moringa oliefera derives from the Indian language Tamil, so, does the 'kartook' also come from India? A photo, or description would also help to ID the plant easier. My gut feeling from your brief description is that maybe it is Curry-Leaf? I could easily be wrong (make that probably am wrong), but I have posted a link below just in case. Bruce |
