I sprouted some Moringa seeds as more of an experiment in April, put them in the ground in June, and they are now almost 5 feet tall! So if you’re looking for a fast growing tree.. may I recommend the mighty and nutritious Moringa.
TBD how they will handle our winter. As we move more and more into dessert like climate, I am planting accordingly with low maintenance and drought hardy plants.
The Dessert willows I planted in the Fall (that I picked up from the Wilco plant sale) are also very happy and growing faster than I expected. They were about 1 foot tall when I got them and are now reaching 4 1/2 – 5 feet in height.
The last 2 photos are from today! With the dessert willow peaking from behind.

That’s awesome! Now you’ve got me researching this tree.
OMG , i tried this in April, and no sprouts so far. Congrats, it’s beautiful. What was your process to get the sprouting
Looks like they won’t last many winters here. Cold tolerant till about 25 F
