Thank you all.

One more interesting fact about the Carob, it is the only tree in our area that it's main season to sprouts and blooms is in October, which strengthen the fact that it's not a local tree. It is believed that its origin is the Yemen Mountains.

Soon, if everything permits, I will upload some photos of Pistacia lentiscus which usually grows with the Carob.

It is very sad to tell, with no comparison to people, that literally Millions of trees are burning now on the north parts of Israel.
Some of them are thousands of years old, most of them fifty to eighty years old. These trees where planted usually on bare mountains, as the forests there where earlier exploit mostly by careless use.
