Moringa oleifera is an Angiospermic plant often known as the 'drumstick' or 'horseradish' tree. It is a member of the Moringa genus, which has 13 distinct species. Among these, Moringa oleifera is the most frequently grown species endemic to the tropical and subtropical regions of the world [1]. Moringa oleifera is a tropical deciduous perennial dicotyledonous tree. It is known by several names in different places, including "Shiferaw" in Ethiopia, drumstick tree or horseradish tree in India, and 'Sitalchini', Munga, Sahijan or Saijan in Nepal. It is a petite, elegant, deciduous tree with scant leaves of the Moringaceae family. The tree is 5 to 10 metres tall [2]. The leaves are alternating, the old ones fall off quickly, and each leaf can grow to be up to 90 cm long, with opposing petals. pinnae. They are 5cm apart from the plant's centre stalk. Moringa has somewhat bigger terminal leaflets that are arranged in opposing pairs. Leaflets are dark green on top and pale on the bottom, and they vary in size and form, although they are usually rounded-elliptic and up to 2.5 cm long. Throughout the year, flowers appear in loose axillary panicles up to 15cm long. Fruits are huge and unusual, up to 90 cm long and 12 mm wide, somewhat constricted at intervals, gradually tapering to a tip, 3- (4-) angled, and with two grooves on each face. They are also light brown in colour. It separates along each angle to disclose the rows of spherical blackish oily seeds, each with three papery wings [3]. The forests form forks from the base region. Smooth, dark grey slash thin, and yellowish bark. The tree's twigs and shoots are short and dedensely-hairedThe Crown is composed of a single stem that is large, open, and often umbrella like. The tree has deep roots and soft wood [3]. Moringa oleifera is a bisexual plant that is extensively cross-pollinated due to heteromorphism. Carpenter bees (Xylocopalatipes and X. pubescens) have been identified as the most dependable and suitable pollinators for Moringa. The main goal of this review was to highlight the nutritional, medicinal, and commercial properties of Moringa, to learn about the potential of Moringa cultivation in Nepal, to suggest future directions for research, market, and development strategies, and to evaluate a published scientific journal article on Moringa oleifera's multipurpose use.
