Did you grow them from seed yourself? My carob isn't looking too happy at the moment; I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I was planning to see if I could find a scion in the Mediterranean to graft onto it next time I go. However, I think they are usually dioecious, so maybe I'd need to graft both a male and female scion onto it. I believe there are some self-fertile varieties though.
You may recall a video I did featuring an impressive seed-grown (but fruitless) avocado tree at a house in East Grinstead. Well, the guy has a greenhouse with an array of seedling carobs and persimmons, in addition to seedling raspberry grapes. He kindly offered me some seedlings. The seedling raspberry grape 'kicked the bucket' within a week (the shock of being taken out of a warm glasshouse), but the carob and persimmon seedlings have remained alive. I should have said to him that unless he does not mind waiting a good number of years, he'd be better off obtaining grafted or airlayered carobs and persimmons. Or, find scions to graft onto his seedlings.
The carob seedling looks great Gary. I have to be honest and say that the 'persimmon' seedling looks distinctly un-persimmon like 🤔
