I bought one little plant a few years ago... It is still alive, and it is still little! Because I know it more than likely won't offer up pods without lots more carobs nearby to pollinate it, and then it may well get fungus on the pods because we get too much humidity, I haven't spoilt it very much. One day I will get it some friends, though, to give it a fighting chance... For those who can grow them, I think carob pods are delicious...as well as nutritious. (Fresh pods can sometimes be found the Lebanese Hot NUT type bars/grocery shops.)

1 male and 1 female.  Had some beans but were attacked by a pest which I couldn't determine. Nice tree but very vigorous. Has grown through its pot and into the ground.  No chance of getting it out and back into a pot.  It is wind pollinated.

Seedling: Lusciously beautifully strong sweet scent in the air, thanks to the flowers, during Summer, up to maybe late March.

Rare edible small pods.

Maybe mainly a male, but is rarely changing to a bisexual/hermaphrodite tree producing very sparse small pods.

Comments: - I'd love to have something exciting to report about the trees I bought last year. The best i can tell you is that they all survived the drought and heatwave Melbourne didn't enjoy last summer. The Lemon Myrtle is now 30 cms tall, and the Carob - on my nature strip - is managing to grow quietly with minimal attention. The Carob and Duffy Feijoa bought for a friend ended up staying in pots for over 6 months. That baby Carob flowered very prettily in its pot, producing dusty pink catkins, though fortunately no fruit.

The thought of eating my own chocolate was overwhelming.... Had to put it in and see what happens. The tree is approaching 2 metres and is shooting nicely. Pretty fast growing to date.
