Sunlight: Carob trees thrive in full sunlight, so plant them in a location where they can receive plenty of direct sunlight, preferably 6-8 hours daily. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the tree's establishment phase. Once established, water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Temperature: Carob trees prefer warm climates and are tolerant of heat. Protect them from frost during colder months, as young trees can be sensitive to freezing temperatures. Harvesting: Carob pods are typically ready for harvest in late summer to early fall. Harvest pods when they turn dark brown and feel slightly firm to the touch. Use pruners or scissors to cut the pods from the tree.
