Ceratonia siliqua

Multi-purpose tree crop. The St. John's Bread of old. Alternative to chocolate. Excellent fodder. Good on marginal soils, suited to dry alkaline situations. Used in soil erosion. Has deep taproot. Scarify seed. Can be eaten as a dried pod and is now a popular powdered drink as a coffee substitute or chocolate alternative. When John the Baptist lived in the wilderness he ate honey and locust which we now know as carob. So the tree is a hardy long lived medium sized tree. One male tree is needed for about each eight female trees so if planting carob seed you will be able to thin out plants once they are mature. To plant seeds they are best scarified by filing the coat until the white seed inside shows or using the hot water treatment and soaking overnight before planting. Plant seeds in a deep pot as a long tap root will develop and plant out before it is 100mm high or use a deep planter bag to allow larger growth. The tree is good in an orchard situation or wind break. The pods will be much loved as a stock feed but protect the tree whilst it is small. The tree likes a well drained soil and will even do well on rocky slopes. Trees may take 7 years to mature.

Approximately 12 seeds per packet

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to September

Planting / Sowing
Scarify seed by carefully filing the seed coat until the white inner seed becomes visible, or pour hot (not boiling) water over seed and soak overnight before sowing. Plant into deep pots, planter bags or forestry tubes using a free-draining seed raising mix. Cover lightly and keep moist during germination. Carob develops a long taproot early in life and should be planted into its permanent position before seedlings become rootbound. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Suitable for orchards, windbreaks and dryland plantings. Trees may take approximately 7 years to begin producing pods.
