Ceratonia oreothauma is a small, evergreen, wild tree from the mountains of Oman and Somaliland, related to the carob. It is not a common garden or houseplant, so care is mostly inferred from its dry, high-elevation habitat.
Ceratonia oreothauma is a species of tree native to Oman and Somaliland.
Ceratonia oreothauma has two widely separated populations which are classified as separate subspecies. C. oreothauma ssp. oreothauma is found in a single valley on Jebel Aswad in the eastern Hajar Mountains of Oman between 900 and 2000 meters elevation. C. oreothauma subsp. somalensis occurs in the mountains of Somaliland between 1500 and 1800 meters elevation.
