Kara trees are rough-barked, fruit-bearing plants that grow to a height of 40 feet or more. The resin from its branches and leaves can irritate bare flesh.

The fruit of the kara tree, which can be picked throughout the summer, is fist-sized and squarish. Unripe karafruit is spotted with yellow, putrid-tasting, and can cause severe cramps when eaten. When ripe, it is red-spotted, chewy, somewhat sweet, and forms a staple for many people.

Seedless cubes of karafruit are sun-cured to make small, red "sweetchews" which are perfect for nibbling, and sold in deklo-leaf pouches.[1]

Spiced, stewed kara-fruit is shared in rituals to Heironeous. A kara tree filled with ripe fruit is one of the symbols of Atroa.

In other media

In Rose Estes' novel Master Wolf, kara "beans" can be used to make a fragrant "coffee" (page 91).
