What to know locally in George
Pine and gum branches over roofs in Blanco and Heatherlands are a steady trimming job, especially before the drier, windier months. Arborists in George also work on indigenous trees, lifting crowns rather than removing them. Clearing invasive pines, wattle and blackwood from properties on the forest edge towards Saasveld and along the Kaaimans and Touws rivers is ongoing. Pine offcuts burn fast and make good kindling.
George: trees, weather and gardens
George sits on a coastal plateau under the Outeniqua Mountains, where the Garden Route's indigenous forest meets large pine plantations. Rain falls in all seasons, so growth is steady and trees get big. Yellowwoods, stinkwoods and other forest trees grow in gardens and kloofs, and real yellowwoods are protected, so a licence is needed before cutting one. Pines, gums and blackwood planted around town spread into fynbos and forest edges, and several are listed invaders. Wildfires have hit the Garden Route before, and strong winds bring trees down. Homes, estates, farms and the timber trade all ask for tree work, and cutting pines back from houses is a common request.
Typical alien and invasive tree removal requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: removing syringas, young gums and wattle from a garden before they spread
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: clearing invaders from common areas, streams and green belts in estates
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing gums and wattle from streams, camps and fence lines to free up water
