Message: [QUOTE="cc_sb, post: 225535, member: 16832"] I am looking for advice growing a carob tree that produces carob. I would ideally like to have a single self-pollinating carob tree that produces carob, though I have not been able to find any of these varieties for sale. From what I have read there are a few varieties like this. For example, Clifford, Santa Fe, and Tantillo. Anyone know of where I can get a self pollinating carob tree? My second option is to buy carob seeds from one of the varieties that do not self-pollinate, grow them and hopefully get both a male and female tree, and then graft one of the male branches onto the female tree. Has anyone had any luck with that? I live on the California central coast in climate zone 9b with a strong maritime influence. I think this is okay for growing carob trees, but if anyone has any experience growing carob trees in this area I would be interested to hear about it. [/QUOTE]
