White Karee is a small to medium sized, indigenous, evergreen tree with a graceful willow-like appearance and neat crown. Fast and easy to grow, making it an ideal shade tree for a newly established suburban garden. Cut to any size. Dense growth habit makes it a good windbreak option.
Wind and drought tolerant. The leaves are fine and delicate. Tiny, green flowers in spring and summer are followed by edible red berries that will attract birds to the garden.
Why You'll Love It:
• Fast growth for shade
• Graceful evergreen foliage
• Tolerates wind and drought once established
• Generally non-aggressive roots suit suburban gardens
Planting & Care:
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water deeply while establishing particularly through the first few dry summers. Mulch around the base, keeping the trunk clear. Prune lightly when needed to shape the crown, allowing room for its naturally spreading branches.
