Karee

Searsia lancea, or the Karee, is a tough, water-wise evergreen tree that thrives in the Western Cape’s challenging conditions.

With its graceful, weeping growth habit and dense, dark green foliage, it makes an excellent choice for screening, windbreaks, or as a feature tree.

It is highly wind-resistant and copes well with coastal conditions, making it ideal for exposed gardens.

This hardy tree is also drought-tolerant and can withstand moderate frost once established.

In spring, it produces small, yellow-green flowers that attract pollinators, followed by clusters of small berries that birds love.

Adaptable to a wide range of soils, Searsia lancea is a fantastic low-maintenance choice for those looking for a resilient and attractive tree for their garden or landscape.
