Free State notes on tree care & clean-up
Willow and poplar clearing along streams near Clarens, Fouriesburg and the Ash River needs follow-up, as both resprout from roots and broken stems. In Bloemfontein, pruning around Naval Hill and the older avenues focuses on lifting crowns off power lines and roofs before summer storms. Garden services in Kroonstad and Sasolburg chip the branches on site and offer the mulch to the client.
Free State: trees, weather and gardens
Flat maize and wheat country covers most of the Free State, and the trees that matter are the ones farmers and town planners put in: bluegum windbreaks, pepper trees round the homestead, and avenues of exotic trees in Bloemfontein and Kroonstad. In the east, near Bethlehem, Clarens and Harrismith, willows and poplars line the streams and spread along wetlands. Winters bring hard frost and, in the east, the odd snowfall, while summer hail can strip a crown in minutes. Farmers ask most for windbreak felling and stream clearing, and town homeowners want gums and pines off roofs and walls. Willow, poplar and gum may all be listed invaders here, so check the listing for your tree and area.
Typical arborists and tree surgeons requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: checking old windbreaks, homestead trees and orchards for decline and borers
- Homeowners: deciding whether a big old tree near the house can stay or must come down
- Schools, churches and municipalities: tree surveys for schools, parks, churches and cemeteries with many visitors
