Carob Tree
A tough drought-tolerant shade tree that also makes an ideal windbreak in our dry climate. Needs male and female plants to produce the delectable pods so grow several plants to increase chances of pollination. Medium growth rate.
How to grow
Plant in full sun in free draining soil. Tolerates dry, rocky soils and harsh semi-arid climates. Restrict watering during pod maturation to improve sugar content. Prune to create compact dense growth if planting as a hedge, or to reduce suckering and improve branch structure.
