Welcome to one of the more affluent areas of the Edenvale area. The homes here are all beautiful as is this park. A great place to bring the dogs, kids and bicycles. The area is boomed off but if the guards question you, tell them you are going to Karee Park, they shouldn’t give you any hassles.
The difficulty rating as due to both the hide and popularity of the park.
Rhus lancea, commonly known as Karee (English and Afrikaans) in Hlokoshiyne (isiZulu) Umhlakotshane (amaXhosa) Mokalaabata (North Sotho), is an evergreen, frost hardy, drought resistant tree, which can reach up to 8 metres in height with a 5 metre spread.
It has dark, fissured bark that contrasts well with its long, trifoliate leaves with smooth margins. It bears small yellow flowers followed on female trees by bunches of small yellow-green flattish fruits, which are loved by birds.
This fruit used to be pounded and then water was added and left to ferment, creating a refreshing beer. The tree is a good shade tree for gardens, parks and pavements and is one of the most common trees on the Highveld and in the Bushveld in South Africa, but is not found in the Lowveld. It favours areas rich in lime in the Karoo and Namibia. The name Rhus is derived from the Greek for "red", an allusion to the striking autumn colours of some species, while lancea refers to the lance-shaped leaves and Karee is derived from Karoo.
