carob tree

    4 responses

Tom Cocks starts with ...
I would like to plant a few carob trees on a block of land I have just purchased in Northern Victoria (Nathalia). Would they grow there? Can get some good frosts in winter.

Thanks for your advice.

Regards,

Tom Cocks

Hi Tom, there's some info on growing Carob here
http://www.carob.com.au/growing
and here

I would say they will grow well in Northern Vic because there's a nursery in the Dandenongs that grows them and if trees can handle winters in the mountains they must be fairly tough.

Cover them in winter while they are young if you get heavy frosts, stepdads carob got a bit of scorching in Canberra this winter.

Try the carob guys out at limestone station they have some good grafted varieties http://www.carobtrees.com.au/ . I ordered for myself and a few mates it turned out quite economical. Colin there is very happy to answer questions on commercial production.
