| How long (years) before a carob tree bears fruit? |
| According to my research, carob (Ceratonia siliqua) trees may fruit in approximately six years with the fruit taking about eleven months to ripen on the tree. These trees reach a typical mature size of 30 or 40 feet. Although some trees are hermaphrodites, generally you would need both a male and female tree for fruiting. You may find the following web page helpful if you need more information about growing carob trees for fruit production. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/new... Please keep in mind, too, that these trees are absolutely not hardy in New York. |
