Did enjoy it. I found the dried pods today in a local market 2 and a half hrs frive from where i live. Bought one for the seeds. Hope they will geminate. They are not known in Sierra Leone as food but for traditional medicine.
This tree is the tree of my life, here in Málaga, Spain; the carob grows wild in the mountains . is part of the basic food of goats. As a child we built cabins in them and sold carobs to farms. Very good tree
at 1:51 is the Clifford which is self-fertile Hermaphrodite variety. Two other Hermaphrodite varieties I am aware of are Santa Fe and the Ramillete. Santa Fe is grown for the tasty pods while Ramillete is grown for the abundance of seeds. Ramillete is grown mainly in Murcia, Spain.
I live in California and cannot find a self fertile carob tree for sale any where around here. I know someone who has a self fertile mature tree in their backyard. Can I use to graft another tree for my backyard? Please help
Yes Carob trees can be grafted. There is a thousand plus year old "Mediterranean peasant farmer" system, whereby people would find a wild grown seedling, growing in their local environment. After that seedling has attained a good enough size, they would do a grafting process (maybe a bud graft ?) using grafting material from a known good parent tree. If the Mediterranean whatever peasant farmers could do that 1,000 odd years ago, then you should be able to do it nowadays. Note that a wild self-sown seedling will have a true taproot / undisturbed root system. Even if grown in deep-ish pots and planted out when quite young, seed grown in cultivation plants, may never get a true taproot in comparison, to a wild seedling growing in the ground where it first sprouted. If irrigation is not available, then during the worst years of drought, then having a true taproot has advantages. . Some experiments have show that with a sprouted seedling not even one inch, 20 mm above the ground, the roots would naturally be about one to 2 feet deep, 300 to 600mm deep, by that stage. There is such a thing as super deep plant pots for growing seedlings like Carobs and the pots can be undone and opened up to allow seedgrown plants to be removed and planted their full root depth without interfering with their roots.There are some excellent books on Carob cultivation especially the one by the 2 Aussie guys...from memory one is "Henry Esbenshade"
plant lots of seeds in one farm, collect those seeds from those parents, they will have lots of genetic veriation, plant those seeds and look for trees with male and female parts on the same plant, this is the standard way to breed any plant when looking for unique genes.
Hi Kath, I've been waiting on your carrob clifford for ages. Any idea when they might be ready? Also, will a carrob clifford be able to pollinate the "normal" carobs?
Believe it or not, I am here because I came across an incomprehensible Chinese word which is translated from the English word 'touchstone' in a start-up book written by a scilioon valley venture capitalist and while I was trying to figure out the difference between the word 'Karat' and 'Carat', I came across this video. Big thanks to the female in the video for proving me wtih the pictures of carob tress and its seeds, which solved my study barriers.
don't grow carobs south of sydney, we had one at 8 metres high by 5 metres wide, it rotted at the base close to ground level and fell over in wind. they can't handle the cool and water in winter. we did get fruit, but small .
No, the seeds will not grow true to type. To insure you get the kind of tree and good fruit that you want you will either need to graft onto a seedling or have a cutting grown tree.
@@papatyalarim Although seedlings may have many characteristics as the mother tree, the seedlings are never exactly like the tree which bore them. From growing seeds is how new varieties are created. For instance I have a Santa Fe seedling. Santa Fe is a hermaphrodite variety. But the seedling turned out to be a male tree with absolutely no female flowers. It is still a beautiful tree but it will never bear fruit/pods. So I have grafted female scions onto six of the branches so that it will bear pods in the future. I would like to point out that male trees are an excellent choice for areas where fruit drop is a problem. Such as parking lots or along sidewalks. Also , carob trees do not do well in lawns since the moisture level is too high for the carob roots to be healthy. This causes the trees to look sick and not do well.
@@daleysfr After clicking on the link I did not see "Carob" or "Ceratonia siliqua" on the lists that popped up. But I typed "Carob" into the search box at the top of the page and they came up. Unfortunately they are listed as zero Available in both seedlings and grafted lists.

Can you send me some cuttings, or young trees?
But giving animals lots o carob, makes them fat and thickens their blood.

Where can I buy some carob tree or seeds?
If love to get one. Waiting for them to arrive.
Wonderful

How did you breed this species to become self-fertile? I'm not too knowledgeable about plant breeding but this has very interesting implications.

Do you guys send trees to south australia
Yes we do, here is the link to our current list that e can send to SA www.daleysfruit.com.au/Plant-List.php?State=SA&Catalogue=
