Evaluation of Moringa oleifera for its potential in food security and environmental rehabilitation has been carried out in Morogoro, Tanzania. For this purpose, three-month-old potted nursery seedlings were transplanted in the field at a spacing of 3 x 3m where they were left to the prevailing weather conditions. Seven month after field planting, plant total height, branching pattern and root architecture were assessed.
