CAROB

Carob ceratonia siliqua. The Carob tree is a native of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It produces delicate flowers in the autumn on old wood and even on the trunk. The ensuing pods are about 15 centimetre long with edible seeds. These are used as animal feed and also to make a chocolate substitute. This particular tree is about 200 years old, growing in an Andalucian garden; its giant umbrella shape casts shade onto the terrace. It is where I sit to do my drawings.
