Northern Cape notes on tree care & clean-up
Pruning in Kimberley, De Aar and Colesberg is mostly deadwooding: taking out dry limbs from pepper trees and pines before summer winds drop them on roofs. Mesquite clearing around Upington, Prieska and the Kenhardt road is slow because the thorny stems resprout. In Springbok and the Namaqualand towns, garden services remove old shade trees and cart the branches to the municipal garden site.
Northern Cape: trees, weather and gardens
Big skies, few trees and long distances shape tree work in the Northern Cape. The camel thorn, or kameeldoring, is the tree of the Kalahari around Kathu, Kuruman and Upington, and it is protected under the National Forests Act, as is the shepherd's tree: no cutting or pruning without a licence. In Kimberley and the Karoo towns, pepper trees, bluegums and old pines give shade on stands and church grounds, and some have grown huge. Mesquite has spread along dry riverbeds and farm roads in parts of the province. Heat, drought and strong wind weaken limbs, so requests are mostly for dead tree removal, invader clearing on farms and careful pruning, often with travel costs added.
Who asks for arborists and tree surgeons around Northern Cape, most often first:
- 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
