Dead branches from drought often need removing in one round. Along the Vaal River near Barkly West, mesquite and other invaders spread along the banks and need control, so check the listing for your trees and area.
Trees in Kimberley
Kimberley lies in hot, dry country, and the trees here have to be tough. Pepper trees, planted widely in older suburbs and on mine land, grow wide and heavy and drop limbs. Camel thorn, which is protected, grows on the open veld around the city and in some older yards. Gardens also carry gums, cypresses, karee and palms. Summers are very hot with short, violent thunderstorms, and winters are cold and frosty. Drought often leaves trees weak, and old pepper trees split or lean over walls. Homeowners, schools, churches and old mine properties ask for removal of dead trees and pruning of pepper trees. Check whether a camel thorn is protected before removing it.
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
- Schools, churches and municipalities: tree surveys for schools, parks, churches and cemeteries with many visitors
- Businesses and commercial property: risk checks on trees over car parks, guest areas and walkways
