I mentioned that there were some Spanish businesses that made carob syrup and it seemed to me as if they felt it was "that's only down south".
I looked around, and eventually bought a bag of carob powder just to thank them for their time.
The difficult thing about traveling solo, especially as a disabled person, is that as much as I want and even need some things I can get in the EU, I cannot easily haul them back by myself.

Got off the bus early today to be able to take photos of the carob roundabout when it was sunny. This isn't the prettiest photo I took, but I post this because it's the angle from which you can most easily see the chlorosis (yellowing) in places.#Carob #Algarrobo #Spain #Espana #Bilbao https://ecoevo.social/@ml/116363698633168952

The trunk is hollow, as are several large branches. Look how something girdled this branch (girdle = chewed, cut, or tore off a semi-circle or entire circle of bark & phloem, which cuts off nutrition flow in the plant), yet the remaining bark seemed to grow right back over it.
Carob is tough, man. Carob wants to live.

Here you can see the young pods developing.
Carob flowers at about the same time the pods are ripe. Pods are on the tree ripening about one year, more or less.
The pods this tree gives, from what I could see on the ground, are not likely standout for eating traits, but the fact that this tree has survived this rainy environment makes it worth propagating for that trait. #Bilbao #Spain #Espana #Carob #Algarrobo

Made time today to walk up & down hills & stairs to get to this old carob tree growing in a roundabout near the Basilica Begoña. This has to be at least a couple hundred years old.
It's very rainy in Bilbao so it is not the ideal environment for Ceratonia siliqua, yet this one survives, albeit hollow and with many fungi on it. And it's either female or hermaphrodite because it is bearing young pods. #Bilbao #Spain #Espana #Carob #Algarrobo
