Carob Chocolate Tree - Ceratonia Siliqua
Ceratonia siliqua, commonly known as the Carob tree and St John's-bread is a species of flowering evergreen shrub or tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is widely cultivated for its edible legumes, and as an ornamental tree in gardens.
Carob consumed by humans is the dried (and sometimes roasted) pod, and not the 'nuts' or seeds. Carob is mildly sweet and is used in powdered, chip, or syrup form as an ingredient in cakes and cookies, and as a substitute for chocolate. Also makes a good bonsai specimen.
It is quite hardy and can tolerate dry conditions, which makes it a good tree for the urban environment. The Carob tree is slow growing which means that the wood is very strong and hard and it will last in your garden for many years to come. It is therefore a good "legacy" tree that will provide shelter for many generations to come.
Germination Tip:
After soaking the seed overnight and the seed has not softened or swelled, you will need to scarify the seed coat. Scarifying is the process of weakening the seed coat, so that water and oxygen can enter the seed, in turn, kick starting germination. Seeds will remain dormant if not exposed to these elements
Scarifying can be achieved by gently rubbing the seed coat with sandpaper, you do not need to rub off the entire coating, just enough for water to enter.
NB: Only scarify the seed coat, do not damage the internal parts of the seed.
Once Scarifying has been done. submerge the seed again as per instructions
