Carrob Tree

[MY NELLIE]

Hello!
I have acquired a carrob tree from a nursery about 1,20m high.
It was planted into a plastic black bag and the soil was compact clay mud. So, I had to transplant the tree before Spring.
I have washed out the roots spraying water under the tap but a mass of the clay mud is left among the roots.
I repoted the tree in a substrate of pumice, baked argile (used in hydroponics), river sand and peat. I have also cut of the upper part of the tree and now height is about 60cm.
I watered with a root hormone solution and I hope and pray it will make it....

Will you please kindly give me some general information about the carrob tree?

Thank you very much.


PS: I hope that English will not be a problem for you.... and I do hope that I have posted to the right forum. If not please feel free to move my post.

Thank you very much, Andrea!
I am already trying to translate the instructions...

But, do you really think that this urgent repotting and the disturbance of the roots will probably kill the carrob tree?
Speak frankly, don't be afraid! I can bear this!

[Andrea Meriggioli]

It's not scure nellie, it dipending by the situation of the tree.
Can you post somethings pictures?

[MY NELLIE]

Yes, I will do so next days....





PS: I was trying to find information on Ceratonias browising the web.... but when I thought your webpage and forum it was already a little late, dear Andrea

Well, not next days but today

The ceratonia as it was bought from the nursery


And the ceratonia now


Temperature is still high in Athens 15-27C and the tree is kept outside on my balkony.
Does anyone have any advice?


edit:
I do not know whether it is permitted to upload photos in this thread. If not, please inform me where to move them

Here again!

Does anyone have experience of Autumn repotting a carrob tree?
Is there anything I can do to further help the tree?

The weather is rainy and humidity is at high levels but I mist the tree once or twice daily. Should I continue to do so or not?

Thank you in advance.

You must protect the tree during the winter. If the weather is rain for a long time and don't stop, you have to repair it by the wather.

If it's so humid, pay attention to leaf diseases such as oidium, expecially if u mist .

Consiglio a tutti quelli che hanno l'inglese arrugginito come il mio di usare lo strumento gratuito "Google Traduttore",
se Andrea me lo permette metto il link, così tutti possono seguire anche questi thread e avere un supporto per partecipare.

Council to all those who have English as my rusty to use the free tool "Google Translate"
Andrea, if I may put the link so everyone can follow these threads and also have support to participate.


Ps: da solo non ce la potevo certo fare....

[Andrea Meriggioli]

Non si possono usare link esterni roberto, tanto se uno non sa l'inglese e vuole seguire il thread, basta che usi la funzione di google da te citata.
Comunque google translate fa certi errori!!!

[MY NELLIE]

I agree with Andrea about Google translator.
There are a lot of errors made. The quality of translations is very low....
Thank you anyway!
