Unlike its wild, rock-dwelling regional congener Moringa concanensis (Kadvo Saragvo), M. oleifera does not occur as an undisturbed climax tree in Gujarat's dry deciduous or thorn forests; rather, it is maintained as an agroforestry staple, boundary tree, and commercial vegetable crop throughout all districts

While native to northern India, Moringa oleifera is historically naturalized and extensively cultivated across Gujarat. Originally native to the sub-Himalayan tracts of northwestern India (from Punjab to Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand), where wild populations evolved along alluvial floodplains and gravelly river terraces.
