The Mountain Karee tree is an evergreen tree that grows six to eight metres tall, often multi stemmed.

Found mainly in the north western parts of South Africa and as far north as Malawi.

The Mountain Karee tree is browsed by Giraffe, Kudu, Impala, Steenbok and Eland. During drought years the Mountain Karee tree is one of the few trees that remain evergreen. Barbets, Mousebirds, Bulbuls, Louries, Guineafowl, Francolin and other fruit eating birds feed off the flattened yellowish-brown fruit.

The wood from this tree is good for making furniture, taking on a reddish-brown colour as it ages.
