Limpopo notes on tree care & clean-up
Garden services in Polokwane, Mokopane and Louis Trichardt prune shade trees before the summer rains and lift crowns off thatched roofs at lodges along the R71 and R40. Above Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof, pine and gum seedlings spread from plantation edges into gardens, so alien removal with follow-up is common. Mopane and other hardwood offcuts are often split and sold as braai wood.
What grows around Limpopo
Limpopo is hot, dry bushveld for most of the year, with green pockets in the mist belt above Tzaneen and around Thohoyandou. Marula, mopane, knob thorn and the occasional baobab grow on farms and plots, while mango, avocado, litchi and macadamia orchards line the valleys of the Letaba and the far north. Thunderstorms arrive in summer after long dry spells, and drought can leave big trees brittle. Work is often on game farms, lodges and fruit farms: clearing for roads and fences, thinning bush, and removing old orchard trees. Several indigenous trees here are protected, including marula, leadwood, shepherd's tree and baobab, so check whether a tree is protected and get a licence first.
The requests we see from Limpopo usually come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: clearing gums and wattle from streams, camps and fence lines to free up water
- Homeowners: removing syringas, young gums and wattle from a garden before they spread
- Businesses and commercial property: removing invasive trees from lodge, factory and office grounds
