KwaZulu-Natal notes on tree care & clean-up
Garden services in Durban North, Morningside and Glenwood cut back ficus, albizia and bamboo several times a year because growth is so quick. In the Midlands around Hilton and Howick, wattle and gum seedlings come back after every clearing, so plan for follow-up. Palm fronds and woody branches are usually chipped on site or carted to garden refuse sites by bakkie.
KwaZulu-Natal: trees, weather and gardens
Everything grows fast on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. Warm, humid summers and heavy rain push palms, flat-crown albizias, coral trees, ficus and bamboo to full size quickly, and roots lift paving and crack drains. Durban, Umhlanga and Ballito gardens are full of tall palms that need fronds and seed heads cleared or the whole palm taken down. Inland, the Midlands around Pietermaritzburg and Howick carry pine, gum and wattle plantations, and wattle spreads into farms and riverbanks. Summer storms and the odd coastal gale bring down trees on roofs and roads. Coastal milkwoods are protected, and syringa, wattle and many garden exotics may be listed invaders, so check before cutting either kind.
