Seeds brought by settlers readily sprouted and eventually provided the ecosystem services recognised in the Mediterranean region for centuries: shade, windbreak shelter, food, fodder, and beautification.<\/p>\n<p>The first commercial\u00a0orchards\u00a0were planted in the early 1980s, and in the last\u00a0carob\u00a0tree census ten years ago there were some 170 hectares nationally. The number of\u00a0carob\u00a0plantings has steadily increased since then because of a range of new industry developments by growers, nurserymen, scientists and\u00a0Carobs Australia.\u00a0Australian\u00a0farmers have benefited from their stock grazing the sugary pods that have fallen from\u00a0carob\u00a0trees inside and on the edges of paddocks in the dry summer season. The tree\u2019s bark is very tough &amp; resists ringbarking by cattle and sheep. High yielding varieties have been selected which drop\u00a0carob\u00a0pods. The development of processing methods for making carob syrup has expanded income-earning options for growers.<\/p>\n<p>Carobs\u00a0are already growing in all five\u00a0Australian\u00a0states and the Northern Territory as the city street &amp; park ornamental shade trees, around rural homesteads, in and around paddocks, and in\u00a0orchards.\u00a0The biggest\u00a0orchards\u00a0planted so far are in western NSW, the southern parts of South\u00a0Australia, and the northern agricultural region of Western\u00a0Australia.\u00a0 These were planted by innovative farmers such as the Ainsleys, Gebhardts, Jolleys, \u00a0Matchetts &amp; Solomons.\u00a0 Recent new plantings are largely in the western parts of Queensland, NSW, and Victoria and the agricultural areas of SA and WA.<\/p>\n<p>To process\u00a0carob\u00a0pods into kibble, powder or syrup contact:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carobs\u00a0r Us<\/strong>\u00a0(ph 0418 556 549 and\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:matchgs@optusnet.com.au\">matchgs@optusnet.com.au<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.australiancarobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Australian Carobs<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0Pty Ltd<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(ph 0408 891 994 and\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:auscarob@bigpond.com\">auscarob@bigpond.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Contact\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carobsaustralia.com.au\/contact-us\/\"><strong>Carobs Australia<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for more details<\/p>\n<\/div><\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carob Growing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
