Do the seeds germinate well? [edit] I mean, have you tried to germinate any of your seeds? If so, out of say 10 seeds, how many pop?

These seeds are extremely fresh. When i bought a live plant it came with 7 seeds as a gift and all of them germinated. I gifted several and kept only the one for me. But i havent tried germinating any of mine. I already have a tree that produces more than enoigh of everuthing i just end up giving the seeds away.

I have and the germination rate is Excellent!
I would gauge it at about 90% depending on your method 
At least that's about what my rates were!
Only 1 of the 10 seeds I planted last year didn't germinate and I gave all the extra plants to family and friends

The way i did it was in humidity domes. Expand the pellets and place on top. Nothing to it really.

That's exactly how I did it as well and it worked great. I don't know why that 1 didn't germinate but all the others did like clockwork

This makes me want some seeds! I haven't researched this plant yet and I have no idea if they can survive the bitter cold winters here. I wonder if they would make great bonsai's?

Yes on the bonsais but no they will not survive your winters or weather colder than 35F to 40F for long periods of time. They will survive being caught up in a cold snap but winter is a no even if you live in zone 8

Zone 8?! I'm jealous! Zone 4B is out of the question then. I would love to put them in a 5 gallon pot and keep them in my home, though. I wonder how well they would do inside all winter long.

I had one that i gave my buddy and it stayed small in a small pot. Only thing it has to be watered constantly. Im more than sure you could bonsai it.

It might theoretically come up from the roots, in a cold climate, but I'm a little afraid to plant mine, in the ground.

Mine done great under Flouros until I planted them outside. The one in the ground died though before winter even hit honestly.
YES 4B is WAY, WAY, WAY out of the question unless you have a heated greenhouse or something

Not in our weather Bro! Probably for you though 
I accidently hit the one I had in the ground last year with the weedeater and it came back with 3 plants (no Joke) 1 died but I had a double headed Moringa last year and I took a bunch of pics of it!!
If the weather is right then yes that will work

You live in zone 7A man,just like me,I looked again,at a revised map.

However,with your greenhouse,you did raise your zone to 8.
It sucks being in zone 7,but it could be worse,we could be in zone 4
Ferrel's Moringa seeds are the shit,and every one I plant germinates
