George notes on tree care & clean-up
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.
What grows around George
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 arborists and tree surgeons requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: deciding whether a big old tree near the house can stay or must come down
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: written tree surveys for body corporates and estates with a yearly work plan
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: checking old windbreaks, homestead trees and orchards for decline and borers
