Growing Tips & Guides
Ceratonia siliqua, commonly known as Carob, is an evergreen tree associated with warm, Mediterranean-type growing environments. It is recognized for its dense foliage, sturdy branching structure, and distinctive elongated pods. Carob can provide year-round greenery and an attractive structural element in suitable gardens and landscapes.
Carob develops a strong, woody growth habit and can form a broad, rounded canopy as it matures. Its evergreen leaves provide persistent foliage, while its characteristic carob pods add additional visual interest to the mature plant.
Carob is suited to warm conditions and performs well in locations with plenty of sunlight. Choose a planting site that provides adequate space for long-term growth and good air circulation around the plant.
Use well-drained soil or a suitable growing medium. Good drainage is particularly important during establishment. Avoid locations where water collects or remains around the roots for prolonged periods.
Start Carob seeds in a well-draining growing medium. Provide suitable warmth, light, and consistent moisture during establishment while avoiding excessive watering. Once seedlings are established, they can be gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions before being moved to a suitable garden location or container.
Carob is suitable for spacious gardens, ornamental landscapes, and Mediterranean-inspired planting designs where climate conditions support its growth. Its evergreen foliage and substantial growth habit can provide structure and year-round greenery.
Young Carob plants can be grown in containers during their early development. Select a container with adequate drainage and sufficient growing space, and use a suitable well-draining growing medium. As the plant develops, provide additional space when required.
For successful establishment, provide good sunlight, well-drained soil, appropriate moisture, and sufficient growing space. Growing conditions should be adjusted according to the local climate and seasonal conditions.

How to plant your seeds
Follow these simple steps to give your seeds the best start.

Prepare your soil & tray
Fill trays or small pots with seed-starting mix. Press gently to settle—no need to pack tight.
