Title: Looking for a Neem tree
Post by: roblack on July 30, 2019, 05:25:59 PM: Hello Everyone.

My neem tree just bit the dust. Got too big for its pot and slowly wasted away.

Does anyone have a neem tree for sale in South Miami, or shipped?

Thanks!

I use neem mostly to make a tea. 1 - 2 leaves of neem, handful of ceylon cinnamon leaves, jasmine flowers, lemon balm or verbena, holy basil, and wild flower honey. Sometimes I throw in yerba mate. Helps out with my allergies for several hours, so use it to avoid taking antihistamines.

My friend's dad says neem tea helps keep his cholesterol down, but I don't know if it's true.

So I make a 2 gallon tea with all of them. Men too because it is too bitter. Yerba because I m Argentines. The one that makes me feel better is pata de buey

Post by: roblack on October 08, 2019, 10:35:30 AM: Bought a neem tree from seller on Etsy. What a slouch! Claimed trees were around a foot or more, with nice branching. My tree was barely 6 inches, 3 little branches. Nothing like pics. Seller was unapologetic and is dishonest, never getting my business again.
