How Tall Is The First Flowering On A Carob Tree?

Question

I can purchase a 15 gallon (ca. 57 liters) carob tree from a nursery. I am trying to determine when it will have its first flowering. The age is unknown. It is approximately 6′ tall. Once I see the flowering I will be able to determine its sex.

Answer 1

According to the article below, the slow-growing tree bears in the sixth year of planting.

The height will vary according to growing conditions. You can contact your local extension agent who might have an idea of the age of that tree.
