'''''Rhus gerrardii''''' ('''Drakensberg Karee''') is a [[deciduous]], [[drought]] resistant tree, native to [[South Africa]]. It reaches a height of up to 5 metres. It is frost hardy and occurs naturally in mountain areas, often along riverbanks. The tree has a graceful drooping habit. It produces small yellowish flowers which, on female trees, turn into small fruits which are relished by birds. This tree makes a lovely shade tree for a small garden.
