Shrub for ID - Portugal (1 Viewer)

These photos have been sent to me from friends staying in the Setubal area of Portugal. I would be grateful for some ID help. Apparently it is in a garden.

Always find these IDs simpler in the flesh. Maybe Carob?

Thanks aeshna5, fruit looks good but the leaves appear to not be pinnate.

Yes, I thought the leaves didn't look quite right, but couldn't see them properly in the photo, hence my initial comment.

Could well be. Did cross my mind earlier along with my earlier guess.

Good shout, Dave, leaves, pods & overall shape look spot on.

Thanks to both of you.
